Bulimia is binge-eating followed by self-induced vomiting or the use of laxatives.
If possible, people who suffer from bulimia should seek treatment well before the presence of all of these symptoms as the disease can cause permanent physical damage.
Join an online Eating Disorder Support Group for free as well as specific groups for Anorexia, Binge Eating, Bulimia, EDNOS and Exercise Addiction. Connect with others who are facing the same challenges.
Bulimia can be hidden from others, since bulimics appear to be within a normal weight range. The binge/purge episodes may be a few times a week or several times a day. Physical complications include dental problems, swelling of the parotid glands, digestive problems, and electrolyte imbalance.
Are You Ready to be Honest with Yourself and Seek Help?
Or Are You In Denial About Your Eating Disorder?
My name is Erika Conover, and 9 years ago, I was in the same place you are now, struggling with an Eating Disorder.
One of the main reasons I wrote this book is to help people like you that may be struggling with an Eating Disorder and don't know where to turn for help.
I can also show you the recovery options that you have and my perspective on which ones may work better than others. This is not a cure all book but it isn’t just a personal memoir either.
If you think you might have an Eating Disorder such as Anorexia or Bulimia... PLEASE, PLEASE admit to yourself that you need help, and make the decision TODAY to take action and reverse this deadly path you are on.
