    This is a super random question but I have been struggling with bulimia for about 5 years now. I am 24, 5'5/5'6 and about 140 lbs. People often tell me when I tell them my weight they actually think I weigh less. (I think I have a lot of muscle on me?) I know I have to quit, I have gotten better.. but what exactly can bulimia do to you? Can it ruin your liver?
