No Bulimia is not funny.
However I have had people in the past make snarky comments about my weight or diet in the past so I understand where the OP may be coming from.0 -
..seriously? :indifferent:0

Some people need to lighten up. I joke about being fat all the time. I joke about depression. I joke about a lot of things that are serious and 'wrong' in my life often. Sometimes that's a good way to cope, and not being too serious about stuff will improve your life drastically.0

I think the joke was that OP was punished for being good... Not about being bulimic.
(Bulimia comments may have been in bad taste, however some of us get it)
We don't need an explanation. It is however still NOTHING to laugh about and make a thread!
Ok, boss!0 -
People really need to lighten up... It was a simple story about work and some co-workers. Not a jab at pre/current/post bulimics.
Cripes.
Funny story and yes, puking at work in a public bathroom sucks. Like throwing up isn't bad enough, you have to go face first into a "foreign" commode.0 -
OP, there are many people on this site who have suffered from (or are still suffering from) eating disorders. I know you meant this to be lighthearted and funny, but it's a sensitive topic here.
It is kind of funny that you were ill because of trying to "be good", but joking about eating disorders here won't be well received.0 -
some many sandy bottoms today.0

Thank god someone got it! Yes bulimia is a serious affliction affecting many people I'm also sorry I sounded flip about it but seriously have a sense of humor... At leas a small one0 -
Some people need to remove the sticks from their butts.
Like none of you have ever made a distasteful joke. Oh of course not.0 -

I think OP is getting too much heat for this. It's an inappropriate joke, yes, but they meant no harm by it.
I didn't find it funny or offensive.0 -

This is called self-deprecation.0 -

For reals. If you'd ever had an eating disorder, or watched someone suffer with it, you wouldn't think it was funny.0 -
Yeah. Which is why I never EVER EVER EVER EVER told a leper joke to a leper. They'd laugh their head off. AND THAT'S NOT FUNNY

What not to do on MFP:
1.Make eating disorder jokes
2.Say lifting will make women bulky
3. Endorse eating under 1200 calories (OH WAIT SEE NUMBER 1)0 -
I laughed. That sucks...0

I took this with a pinch of salt tbh! But may have taken it differently in a different mood, and depending on past history...
I saw it as OP meant, but can see it was potentially insensitive... unintentionally.
Lighten up guys... I know bulimia isn't funny, at all; but am sure OP didn't intend to be so frivolous and will think twice next time.
Hope you feel better soon too OP.0
