   A friend of mine said that I am becoming bulimic. I asked her why and she said because I am going through weird eating habits and it can mess up my mutabilism.  I said No I don't explain, she was like you barely eat, your stressed and kind of getting depressed and your exercising more. I said I am just trying to stay healthy. I think she is wrong and now she is bugging me about it.

bulimic means you eat a lot of food then fors yourself to throw up

do you stick your finger down your throat

The proper term is anorexic. Bulimic is when you throw up.

Sounds more like anorexia. Bulimia involves regurgitating your food after you swallow it. Go to a doctor and explain yours and your friend's concern, and get some professional help.

If you're just trying to better yourself and make yourself healthier then there is nothing wrong with that. Cutting down on food is part of losing weight. But if it's a problem where u dont eat at all then that is anorexia, bulimia is when you throw up the food you have eaten so as long as you dont do that then I don't think you're bulimic.

if you dont purge.
or over exersize.
or obes over your weight
or fast for days on end

I'm thinking you're just stressed about staying healthy. As long as you're not binging, purging, being obsessively healthy, or self-starving, I think you're ohkay.
