Starving yourself could trigger a binge. After binging some people want to throw up. So, starving COULD be a ticket to Bulimia
Not usually, no.
They eat very little and things that do not have a high calorie content. What do they do? They get sick and tired very easily. They hide their disorder until it becomes unmanageable and noticable and then become hospitalized or worse, die.
Subtlety is key. The best way to prevent people from thinking you are starving yourself is to NOT STARVE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE.
no your not, if you do it on purpose you are though
starving yourself
No, bulimia is a very dangerous and devastating eating disorder
being bulimic is where you make yourself throw up to try to lose weight
Bulimia is the act of making yourself purge food that you have eaten. It cannot be caught as a disease.
If a bulimic continues to purge, the bulimic will eventually become underweight. It's a simple measure of calories in, activity out. If someone vomits up their calories and doesn't take in replacement calories, it is very possible to become dangerously and unhealthily thin.
About 1 in every 200 people is bulimic or has some bulimic tendencies.
Starving is not good for your body, it deprives yourself of the energy and nutrients you need to remain healthy and well.
You could technically be considered bulimic after the first time you force yourself to throw up to lose weight. (Having the flu, or are sick, or food poisoning, ect. doen't count!) Most people, however, would begin to label someone / themselves as bulimic nce throwing up, bingeing, purging, and all that goes along with it become routine or at least happen pretty frequently.
