Victims are usually normal weight or overweight. Yes!you read it right more normal weight people are prone to have this disorder. Bulimic people are not as delusional as those with anorexic individual, in that they generally realize their true weight and tend to be aware they have a problem. They tend to believe that every one is focused on their weight or overweight and body size and judging them accordingly. They lose awareness of their intrinsic worth as human being as they worry about pleasing others.

When you’re struggling with bulimia, life is a constant battle between the desire to lose weight or stay thin and the overwhelming compulsion to binge eat.

You don’t want to binge—you know you’ll feel guilty and ashamed afterwards—but time and again you give in. It’s important to note that bulimia doesn’t necessarily involve purging—physically eliminating the food from your body by throwing up or using laxatives, enemas, or diuretics. If you make up for your binges by fasting, exercising to excess, or going on crash diets, this also qualifies as bulimia. How will you know if you are bulimic? Well  here are some signs and symptoms. First,Lack of control over eating, you have the tendency to eat and eat until the point of physical discomfort and pain.

They may try to cover up the smell with mouthwash, perfume, air freshener, gum, or mints.There are people who are fond of eating bubblegums or candies after they take their meals.Maybe you are one of them?are you?hahaha.Disappearance of food numerous empty wrappers or food containers in the garbage, or hidden stashes of junk food and lastly He or She eat unusually large amounts of food with no obvious change in weight.

First, Admit your problem-The first step in bulimia recovery is admitting that your relationship to food is distorted and out of control. Learn to accept that your bulimic and try to talk to someone it can be hard to talk about what you’re going through, especially if you’ve kept your bulimia a secret for a long time. You may be ashamed, ambivalent, or afraid of what others will think. But it’s important to understand that you’re not alone. Find a good listener—someone who will support you as you try to get better.Stay away from people, places, and activities that trigger the temptation to binge or purge. You may need to avoid looking at fashion or fitness magazines, spend less time with friends who constantly diet and talk about losing weight, and stay away from weight loss web sites and “pro-mia” sites that promote bulimia.
