What is bulimia?

Why is it so popular and you don't evenlose that much weight?

Answer:
I am a recovering one. I statrted in high school when i would cross the line of having eaten too much and felt REALLY guilty about it. So I learned to throw it up. Being young and stupid, I did not see what a bad addiction it would turn in to...but it did. I still struggle with NOT doing it and I am 36. Dont even play around with it. If you want to look better, go see a trainer and do it the healthy way and exercise and eat right. If I could do it over again...
bulimia is when someone forces themself to "throw-up" in order to lose weight.

it is popular mostly in younger teens and females. they think that since the food is coming back out, no calories are going in adn then they just lose it. you dont lose weight, in the end you gain weight but it is both a psychological problem and just a health problem in general. ):
try using google before asking...

it is when u stick your fingers in your mouth really deep and get yourself to throw up...

therefore no calories, no weight gain, but lots of side effects.

DONT DO IT.
an eating disorder in which someone engages in recurrent binge eating followed by intentional purging. Its very dangerous and you can gain many health problems like diabetes, heart disease, infertility, malnutrition also the your teeth can rot due to constant vomiting
It's an eating disorder where a person will eat a large quantity of food and then go purge. That's the very basic definition. People will purge because usually they have eaten a large quantity of food then feel very guilty about it.
First, bulimia is a condition where someone gorges down food and then forces them to regurgitate it back up, or vomit. The reason why it is so popular is that people see it as they can eat as much as they want, and not gain any weight and they believe that it is harder to identify as an eating disorder if they are actually eating. The reason why many people who are bulimic don't lose too much weigh is because when you gorge yourself with food, most of the calories from the food has already been absorbed and so when you throw it back up, you aren't throwing back up all the calories. Bulimia is also really bad for your teeth and such, so hope I helped!
Bulimia is popular because people think they can eat and eat and then throw it up, that way they get the enjoyment of eating, without gaining weight. The reason they still gain weight is because they eat in long periods of time, stuffing their mouths for hours. Food starts digesting the moment it hits your tongue. So when the throw up, most of the food has already gotten past the stomach and has gone through the body! Bulimic people can be even heavier than normal people!!
bulima is when u force yourself to throw up the food you just ate so you dont gain weight
It is overeating enormous amounts of food at one time, and then "purging," by vomiting it up or taking laxatives to make it pass through your system faster. Some bulimics exercise excessively instead of doing these things. The most common form of purging is vomiting. And it can be addictive, cause tooth decay, and ruin your life, because with most bulimics, body image is about all they think about, and let their relationships with others and all other interests go by the wayside.
