People with bulimia frequently eat unusually large amounts of food in a specific period of time. Each binge eating episode usually continues until the person becomes painfully full. During a binge, the person usually feels that they cannot stop eating or control how much they are eating. Binges can happen with any type of food but most commonly occur with foods the individual would normally avoid. Individuals with bulimia then attempt to purge to compensate for the calories consumed and relieve gut discomfort. Common purging behaviors include forced vomiting, fasting, laxatives, diuretics, enemas, and excessive exercise. Symptoms may appear very similar to those of the binge eating or purging subtypes of anorexia nervosa. However, individuals with bulimia usually maintain a relatively normal weight, rather than becoming underweight. Side effects of bulimia may include an inflamed and sore throat, swollen salivary glands, worn tooth enamel, tooth decay, acid reflux, irritation of the gut, severe dehydration, and hormonal disturbances. In severe cases, bulimia can also create an imbalance in levels of electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. This can cause a stroke or heart attack.

Get the crashing blimps mug.a person that binges on "food porn" websites such as Food Gawker, Food Network, All Recipies, etc. A sufferer of this condition reaches an obsessive level of searching for indulgent pictures of food or complex/absurd recipies. The person never intends on actually attempting the recipies, just drooling over them for hours on end. Virtual Bulimics like to commit their binges secretly and if caught, deny the amount of time they have spent on their favorite foodie websites. A common behavior of VBs is to keep a tab open to a genrically 'good use of time' websites, like the CNN.com, which they can toggle to upon the glance of un-welcome eyes.
Person 1: "Erin has been salivating at her computer all day while looking through Food Gawker's most popular recipies of all time. Right now she is reading a recipe for deep fried bacon. Her condition appears to be growing graver by the second; I think it's time for an intervention."
Person 2: "Yes, she is demonstrating all the signs of a Virtual Bulimic. We would be good friends to confront her."
