Bulimia_Nervosa

Bulimia Nervosa Bulimia Nervosa Bulimia is characterized by alternating episodes of binge eating and purging. A binge may be anything from a single bag of chips to a whole bag of groceries, but what all binges have in common is that the sufferer feels out of control and not able to stop eating. Suffers consume huge quantities of food, sometimes twenty thousand calories at a time. Foods on which they binge are food labeled as “comfort foods” i.e. sweet foods, higher calories, or smooth, soft foods like ice cream, cake and pastries. The binge stops only when the person is physically unable to eat any more or when he/she is feeling guilty and, self-loathing becomes so strong that the purge desire takes over. Purging most often takes the form of vomiting; the bulimic makes himself/herself throw up in a desperate attempt to get rid of the food consumed during the binge. While some people may stick their fingers down their throats to make themselves vomit, others use dangerous drugs intended only to induce vomiting after the accidental ingestion of poison. Some people also abuse laxatives or overexercise to keep themselves bulimia, binge, eating, weight, athletes, themselves, purging, bulimic, food, female, athlete, vomiting, nervosa, foods, disorders, control, about, time, people, one, make, eat, day, coaches, being, after, worries, vomit, very, team, takes, symptoms, suffering, sports, small
