Has anyone actually lost weight from taking laxatives?

during anorexia, i took laxatives as if they were candy. I'd be taking them all the time. I'd eat a meal with my family and sometimes take 12-24 laxatives in one go. Did it work and make me thinner? YES! Did it make me feel good? NO! Sat on the toilet for often 2-3 hours in a go wasnt very good. You feel dizzy, sick, and like you are about to collapse. Also, it isnt nice when you feel your about to 'let rip' whilst walking down the street. Laxatives arent the answer. I still struggle daily not to take them, but then I think of the times sat in the bathroom at 4am, 5am, 6am etc. Dont take the chance. If you want to lose weight quick, there are several diets available for a quick solution. But not laxatives!
