Usually the people that develop bulimia are people that are used to throwing up and going to the bathroom( which, hopefully, most people are,). They also might have easy access to a lot of pills. Most people who get bulimia aren't very happy with themselves and they think that they have a weird body shape.

Someone with bulimia usually maintains the same weight or in fact looks slightly puffy-er. They may have callouses on their fingers. It can cause their teeth to rot and bulimia can severely effect the digestive system. They binge eat. They feel like they have no control in their life.
