BULIMIA NERVOSA is characterized by:
- Binge eating-consuming large amounts of food in short periods of time and feeling out of control while doing it
- Purging-undoing what you have done through vomiting, laxatives, diuretics, exercise, and/or restriction, etc
- Poor self-esteem which is overly related to perceived body image
Common warning signs:
Evidence of purging in bathroom, rigid exercise routines, evidence of binge eating-food disappearing, sores on knuckles from vomiting, disappearing after meals, depression and/or anxiety, withdrawal socially, increased anger and defensiveness, poor body image and low self-esteem, etc.
