We have all been there: turning to the refrigerator if feeling lonely or
bored or indulging in seconds or thirds if strained. But if you suffer
from bulimia, the from time to time urge to overeat is more like an
obsession.
And rather than eating sensibly to make up for it, you penalize
yourself by purging, fasting, or exercising to do away with the
calories.
You might have found how easily you are able to get rid of the food
ingested during a "binge" by vomiting or taking diet pills or laxatives.
The utilization of these purging techniques may become more
frequent as bulimia and addiction to dieting supplements and
laxatives take over.
