Bulimia
Bulimia needs to be stopped!
What is Bulimia?
It is a very serious eating disorder that is marked by binge eating and vomiting. When a bulimic eats a meal they eat very large amounts of food and they then take steps to avoid weight gain. The most common step bulimics take is making them selves vomit after eating. But they can also take steps like excessive exercising, indulging in laxatives, or fasting. Bulimia is a very harmful disorder that needs to be stopped. It is important that Bulimia is put to an end because there are over three million cases of Bulimia in the U.S.A. per year. Because Bulimia is a disorder that commonly results in death, if not stopped, those three million bulimics in the world could die.
