Thankyou for sharing your story with us. It takes a lot of courage to be open and honest about such a personal issue.

I was never able to vomit as a way of purging. I did excersise compulsively (as a teen and young adult) in an attempt to rid myself of the after effects of one of my binges. It is important to realise that bulimia doesn't always just take the form of bingeing and vomiting afterwards. Laxative abuse and compulsive excersise are also potentially dnagerous areas which CAN lead to long-term health complications.

Good luck to you !
