bulimia nervosa isn't a weight catergory. you can be 235lbs and be diagnosed with bulimia... its a mental thinng that has physical symptoms. Its not just about throwing up. its the thoughts running through your head whilst your at it. anyone could eat a dinner and then immitate ones behaviour and be sick. that's not bulimic . a bulimic purges because of an intense fear of gaining weight and a persistant dream of losing weight. when eaten a bulimic feels an overwhelming feeling of guilt inside that he/she cannot cope with and desposes of it by actions on the outside ( purging).bulimia is not an affective weight loss method or fad diet it is a illness and dangerous. it is highly addictive and i don't recommend it. i was diagnosed 3 years ago....maybe 4 ... time just flys by when your not really in it....

Symptoms aside from aversion to food may include excessive exercise, self-induced vomiting, abuse of laxatives. Bulimia Nervosa An eating disorder characterized by an obsession over food leading to binges (large and abnormal consumptions of food) and followed by a feeling of guilt and fear of weight gain as a result from the calories consumed and so the individual purges (self induced vomiting). Other symptoms may include use of laxatives. The individual is usually lucky to purge 10% of what is consumed - and the average BMI for a bulimic is above the recommended healthy BMI.

This disorder is often unnoticed but equally as dangerous as other eating disorders.

EDNOS Eating disorder not otherwise specified. *Bulimia and Anorexia Nervosa are most heard of. *There are other eating disorders aside from the few prominent ones mentioned here. *Eating disorders often overlap e.g. a bulimic may go through phases of anorexia and exercise bulimia.
