A person suffering
with Bulimia Nervosa consume large amounts of food and then rid
their bodies of the excess calories by vomiting, utilising laxatives
or diuretics, taking enemas, or excessive exercising. Many sufferers
will use a combination of all these forms of purging and "binge
and purge" in secret to maintain normal or above normal body
weight. In many cases these sufferers may successfully hide their
problem from others for years.
