i think im a little bulimicthou i cant be diagnosed as one as i dont fit most of the categoryfrm wikipedia:-Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors referred to as "purging".The most common form—practiced by more than 75% of people with bulimia nervosa—is self-induced vomiting; fasting, the use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics, and over exercising are also commonthe criteria for diagnosing a patient with bulimia are:
1. Recurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following:
-Eating, in a fixed period of time, an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat under similar circumstances.
-A lack of control over eating during the episode: a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating.
2. Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain, such as: self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other medications; fasting; excessive exercise.
3. Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight.
4. These symptoms occur at least twice a week on average and persist for at least 3 months.
5. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of Anorexia Nervosa
