I have been binge eating for 1 week, how long will it take to lose weight?

It won't work: Bulimia is not an effective way to lose weight, and will make you very sick. It is even possible to die with this problem. Most bulimics are of normal weight. If you're wanting to lose weight, working with a nutritionist and exercise trainer to get some pointers will help a lot more -- and will not abuse your body. Your doctor can help you get treatment for bulimia.
