bulimia cheeks

The full, Droopy-esque cheeks of a chronic bulimic and a tell-tale sign of their disorder, caused by the irritation of the parotid glands due to consistent, self-induced vomiting.

Jamie's bulimia cheeks make her look like an elderly chipmunk. She must've been purging again.

Drunkard's Bulimia

The act of inducing vomiting as means of achieving sobriety. Most commonly performed after a night of heavy drinking. Methods include shoving one's finger down his or her throat in a manner similar to famed reality television stars. Although it is theoretically sensible, its effectiveness is uncertain.

*Scene is set at a crowded party. Dude 1 walks into the bathroom and finds Dude 2 sitting in front of the toilet*

Dude 1: Why the hell are you shoving your finger down your throat?

Dude 2: It's called drunkard's bulimia. I heard that it helps you sober up after a night of heavy drinking.

Dude 1: You're a moron.

bulimia

basically, the only true staple is that we binge, then purge in some way after - be it vomiting(which can be done MANY different ways), starving or exercising aggressively after or taking things like laxatives and diuretics.

i would have added bad body image to that, but some people who are not bulimic or anorexic have problems with their images too

everything else changes for every person.
we all have different causes, triggers, binge foods and amounts.
also, not all bulimics and anorexics are skinny. it could be the 300 pound mom, the teenage boy with a little extra chub or it could be the bony 11 year old in grade 5.
bulimia does not discriminate against weight, age, gender, class or race

usually depression goes along with bulimia, whether your depressed when its starts, or after you realize your in too deep.

bulimia

A mental disease that effects both girls and boys, people often think of eating disorders only effecting teenage girls but this is very false. Bulimia can effect both girls and boys of all ages. Bulimia is when someone binges, over eats to an EXTREME and then purges in some way. Usually self-induced vomiting, but also over exercising, fasting, or using laxatives. Bulimia is an addiction, and is different from anorexia because it's not always about losing weight or getting thin. It's a coping mechanism as well, and usually bulimics are a normal weight, or sometimes even over weight. It's a very serious disease that eventually WILL be fatal if not stopped. Treatment is often necessary, but not always.

"I think Jill is bulimic, she always goes to the bathroom after meals"
"Not necessarily, she doesn't seem to over eat too much which is a big bulimia symptom."

retail bulimia

A condition in which a person shops incessantly, making extravagent purchases for the pure joy of the acquisition experience, but then returns everything the next day.

"I don't know what came over me - when I was in Nieman Marcus, I just had to have that $400 Versace bag, but once I got it home, I felt so guilty, and it seemed so ugly that I returned it. After that, I felt great - cleaner somehow. I'm afraid I might have retail bulimia."
