Could a Weak Abdomen Be Related to my Past? (photo)

About 10 years ago (late teens/early 20's) I was bulimic. During my binges I would often eat the equivalent of 2 gallons or more of foodstuffs. However I have recovered and have been binge/purge-free since 2004. My weight is stable and I lead a healthy active lifestile. Could this be why my abdomen is so protrusive? Has my past stretched out the abdominal wall to the point of no return? Will a tummy tuck repaid the damage?
