Best Answer

Bulimia is an eating disorder, common especially among young women of normal weight who look in the mirror and see themselves as being fat. They have episodes of episodic binge eating (purging) followed by feelings of guilt, depression, and self-condemnation. After they are done eating as much as they can, they find a quick way to get the food out of their system. Either by forceing themselves to vomit, or take laxetives.

Bulimia is an eating disorder in which the person binges and purges. Binging constitutes that the person eats more then they can handle and purging is that they quickly get rid of that food. Either by throwing it up or by using laxatives to get it out through the form of diarrhea.
