Can someone help me to stop throwing up please

Right, this is the first time I've actually admitted this to anybody out loud, I've been making myself sick for nearly 7 years now

I used to be quite big and lost a lot of weight, since then I'm terrified of putting it back on and can't help but throw up

I've been through three pregnancies, was able to refrain from throwing up mostly, although still did the odd time, I just made sure not to eat too much so I wouldn't feel the urge - I put on barely any weight as a result and am convinced I harmed my babies due to lack of nutrition, they were all between 6 & 7 lbs

Nobody knows I do this, is there any way I can fix it without the help of a professional? I don't want people to know

My throat is constantly sore, I brush my teeth 4/5 times per day, I can't eat anything without feeling sick after it, I do try to keep a lot down but at least once per day I give in and bring it back up

Has anybody here had bulimia and managed to beat it without doctors? If so, can you help me please?

Thank you

The first step is to admit there is a problem which is what you have done - well done.
You don't have to tell anyone you know but it would defo be of help to you to speak to someone professional to help you.
YOU HAVE NOT HARMED YOUR BABIES! They are of perfectly natural and healthy weights!
Please speak to your GP and get referred for counselling. You don't have to tell anyone that you are doing this but sorting it yourself will be far harder. It's a cycle you have to break.
