Bulimia and Health Complications
Bulimia is generally characterized by periods of bingeing and purging. Bingeing may be defined as an episode wherein an individual consumes a large amount of food in a short period of time, but bingeing can take on a different definition for everyone. Some may consider 1,000 to 10,000 calories a binge while for others, a single chocolate bar can be considered a binge.
After every binge episode, the affected individual feels so terribly guilty and disgusted over his or her actions that he or she needs to eliminate all the calories that were taken in during the bingeing episode. Hence, the purging starts.
