How many people are bulimic?

Answer 1

There are many people around the world that are bulimic but being bulimic isn't healthy at all. You should find some help. Go to a therapist or something. If you really are overweight, a healthy diet and exercise will help you lose weight. Tons of girls feel that they are overweight when they really aren't. It's all because of Hollywood AND also modeling. They make people think that being really skinny is gorgeous, but it isn't. There are more people in the world that think being bulimic and annorexic is ugly than there are people who think it looks good. Being bulimic really truly is an illness and you should find some help as fast as you can. I promise you won't regret it. I actually lost a very very good friend because of bulimia. I kept telling her to find some help and I actually even found a therapist for her but she wouldn't go. She was even sent to a mental hospital and as soon as she gained the weight and got out of the hospital, she went back to being bulimic. Eventually she died.

Answer 2

Now, this is a hard question.

As bulimia is often shamed upon, and hidden from family and friends and a type of "guilty pleasure", the statistics are hard to come across. 1 in 4 people have a form of eating disorder at some point in their life, and that's all I know.

Answer 3

About 1 in every 150 to 200 people has some sort of eating disorder. (The most common being anorexia or bulimia.) This is nto an exact number, though, because many cases go unreported or unnoticed.

Answer 4

The world is a very big place. To be able to accurately count every single person who's currently diagnosed with bulimia would be impossible, and then there are the cases of people who secretly go bulimic and do a very good job of hiding it. If I were to take an educated guess, though, I would estimate around 3 million people in all of the world have bulimia, while probably about 1 million or so are diagnosed.

Answer 5

There are no true stats on this one because Bulimic people tend to hide this trait in themselves. It's a disease and one that is at an all time high and dangerous! Bulimic people see themselves as fat, have low self esteem and feel they can gorge or eat whatever they like, then go into the washroom and purge. It's highly dangerous because the stomach is a muscle and if it gets use to heaving up food one day it won't stop! Marcy

Answer 6

15 to 20% of people who have bulimia die from it, but most people that die from it don't tell anybody about it and so it starts to get worse as they don't do anything about it.

Answer 7

An estimated 1 in every 200 people suffers from bulimia.
