CCL, there is NO WAY to spot reduce, and a bloated abdomen is much more likely to be CAUSED by enemas and laxatives and vomiting than to be cured by it.

Now, please take this in the spirit in which it is offered: don't be stupid. You already know that what you're doing isn't good for you, and that it's dangerous to your health. Why keep doing it? It isn't working, is it? If it's not working, and it's dangerous to your health, why keep doing it?

By the way, from my experience -- which is rather more extensive than maybe I'm happy about -- men do not care nearly as much about abdominal fat as they do about things like personality, and interests. How attractive do you think a man is who can think and talk about nothing more than what he's doing at the gym and how concerned he is about [choose a body part]? How attractive do you think you are to someone if all you can think about as a sign of your self worth is your body?

Have you discussed this with your doctor?
