Bulimic??

sorry may sound eeerr well rude but I literally just read on this website and people were tlin bout bein bulimic and my question is. what does it mean?

Bulimia is a disease more common in females then males, they usually start off being anorexic which means they eat far less of the proper amount of food and nutrients they need in order to become thinner- but then progress to being bulimic where they still eat very little but have periods of bingeing (eating an incredibly large amount of food), then they feel guilty for eating and force themselves to throw up the food to prevent from gaining any weight. Other than losing a great deal of weight, bulemics also damage their esophagus because the stomach acid that digests the food is brought up with the food when it is thrown up, and the acid eats away at the lining of the throat. Other problems that come with this are similar to the affect anorexia has.

Don't try this at home...

it is not something to joke about because it can kill you. It almost killed me this year and continues to kill me little by little. My eating disorder has changed but it has relentlessly been there.

ok thx

hi there, I saw your question on what is bulimia and I have a little information to share with you.

Bulimia is when one makes themself sick, this can be done by putting a finger down the throat in order to puke out the food that has been consumed, another way is by shoving an objeact down the throat such as a toothbrush.

I must stress that Bulimia is very harmful, the damage that can be done to the body is such as, depression, low self-esteem, tooth decay and irregular heart beat, the major dangers of bulimia can be such as, stomache ulcers, liver and kidney failiure and bowel muscle damage.

Signs of someone with bulimia can be such as, Constant bathroom visits, eating a lump sum of food in a short period of time, bingeing followed by fasting, laxative abuse and excessive exercise.

I hope I have answered your question.
