What is Bulimia?
basically, the only true staple is that we binge, then purge in some way after - be it vomiting(which can be done MANY different ways), starving or exercising aggressively after or taking things like laxatives and diuretics.
i would have added bad body image to that, but some people who are not bulimic or anorexic have problems with their images too
everything else changes for every person.
we all have different causes, triggers, binge foods and amounts.
also, not all bulimics and anorexics are skinny. it could be the 300 pound mom, the teenage boy with a little extra chub or it could be the bony 11 year old in grade 5.
bulimia does not discriminate against weight, age, gender, class or race
usually depression goes along with bulimia, whether your depressed when its starts, or after you realize your in too deep.

(Bulimia as an inner voice:)
Rue: I haven't eaten in two days. I think all just have a snack.
Bulimia: You should eat as much as possible.
Rue: After eating all of that, I feel awful.
Bulimia: You should feel awful. Go vomit it all up so you don't gain weight.
Bulimia - what does it mean?
Insecure Girl: I want to be anorexic, but I like food too much! What should I do?
TV Commercial: Wanna lose weight fast, but don't want to have to starve yourself? Then try Bulimia! All you have to do is eat all you want, make yourself throw up, and watch the pounds melt off!
Announcer at the end that talks really quickly: Side effects include heart attack, stomach ulcers, shitting yourself, pissing yourself, tooth decay, bad breath, and death.
Insecure Girl: That sounds great! I'll start right away! (eats 30 tons of twinkies then throws up so much that it floods her house)
Bulimia - meaning
A hilarious "eating disorder" (read: sex game) which involves eating a lot, orally stimulating oneself and projectile vomiting. It's actually very good fun, I highly recommend it.
Bulimic: That was some sick bulimia I had last night!
Bulimia - definition
"Wow, Jeanie got sooo skinny! I heard she has bulimia..."
"I know, apparently she's nomming and vomming on a regular basis."
Bulimia - slang
A horrible eating disorder in which the person, usually a young girl, eats large ammounts of food then feels bad and finds some way to "purge" themselves of the calories.
Many bulimics are recovering anorexics. They've had to deal with denying themselves their favorite food for so long that now they don't have the will power neccisary to do it any more, so they gorge themselves and puke, exersive, or use laxitives to get rid of it afterwards.
Like anorexics, bulimics sometimes do what they do to feel in control. But they do so without the same self control that anorexics have, and bulimics are harder to catch with more severe symptoms then anorexics.
Amy had only been home from Anorexia rehab for two days, when her mom found her barfing up an entire cake. She's checked back into rehab for Bulimia now.

Bulimia
A condition where people (surveys show mainly teenage girls) binge on food then take laxitives or force themselves to throw up thinking it will allow them to enjoy food without putting on weight. Refusing to admit they have a problem can be a first sign of an eating disorder.
-a mental condition and can be confused with anorexia.
Jane: man i could go some nachos *eats*. Holy shit i shouldnt have eaten that *vomits*
Susan: hey do you have bulimia or something?
Jane: NO! I just feel sick... (denial)
Bulimia
Bulimia nervosa isn't just throwing up. Bulimia is binging and purging.
Binging - eating lots of food quickly in a short period of time
Purging - vomiting, laxative abuse, excessive exercise, or fasting
Bulimics don't binge and purge because they think they're fat or because of the media. They do it to gain a sense of control, to calm themselves. Bulimics rarely lose weight, their weight is usually up & down. 10% of bulimics will die from heart attack, malnutrition, or suicide
Eating disorders are coping mechanisms, not about vanity
I've had bulimia since I was 12. A typical binge for me is a pint of ice cream and a full box of macaroni & cheese. All eaten in a half hour, and it usually ends up regurgitated in to a trash bag. I don't do this because I want to be thin, I do it because it helps me cope w/ stress
