Bulimia

Bulimia is an eating disorder which involves the cycles of (bingeing) overeating and then getting rid of the food (purging). During a binge someone often feels like they have lost control and they cannot stop eating, bingeing is not an enjoyable experience. After binging someone will often purge to cope with the feeling of guilt and shame they may be experiencing. Purging might make someone feel like they are in control, but it can really hurt their body.
