Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by episodes of binge eating followed by periods of purging, usually through induced vomiting or purposefully excessive exercise. Dissatisfaction with one's own body and modern social standards of beauty (promoting thinness as being desirable) are thought to be powerful psychological factors that contribute to developing bulimia.
