What is bulimia?

In the case of bulimia, the sufferer big binge eating occurs (overeating) and then tries to make up with drastic measures, such as induced vomiting or excessive exercise to prevent weight gain.

Over time, this can be dangerous, physically and emotionally. It can also cause compulsive behaviors (ie behaviors that are difficult to avoid).

A diagnosis of bulimia is when someone resorts to binge eating and purging regularly, at least twice a week for a couple of months. These binges are not comparable situations like going to a party, eat excessive amounts of pizza and the next day decide to go to the gym and eating more healthily.
People with bulimia eat large amounts of food at once (usually junk food) and often do to hide from others. Frequently they eat uncooked foods or still frozen food or take away. They often feel they can not stop eating and only do so when they are too full to continue eating. Most people with bulimia then resort to vomiting, laxatives or excessive exercise.
Although anorexia and bulimia are very similar, anorexics are usually very thin and often have underweight. By contrast, people who are bulimic can have a normal weight or being a little exceeded in their weight.
