Been making myself sick

I'm 18, turning 19 this year. I dont know if this is a problem or not. Ive been doing it since I was 10/11.
I dont make myself throw up every day after every meal, I do it occasionaly when I have eaten way too much. I dunno, I went 6 months without doing it at all, then Ill go a week without doing it, or a couple of days, then another few months. Or I can do it a few days in a row. It's not a regular thing. Not only that Im a size 14 bottom and 12 top so its not noticeable whatsover.
What I am worried about though is this, is that ive done it for so long, im wondering if its messing me up inside? Even though I havent lost weight from it and I dont do it every day? :frown:

Yes it is a problem. What your weight is is irrelevant. Yes, it will mess you up inside. The oesophagus is not supposed to have acid inside it, thus could rupture if repeatedly strained under pressure or strong acid. There is also the risk of acute electrolyte imbalance which could cause heart attacks. etc. Many more, just look at an ED website for all the dangers etc.
