"Bulemia" and "bulemic" are expressions used by people who obviously have no idea how the spell those terms instead of bulimia and bulimic. Lucky them, since in most cases that means those people do not suffer from an eating disorder themselves.
What do you call this again, when girls eat and then have finger for dessert - bulemia?

I really want to lose weight and become bulemic - can you tell me how to throw up?

academic bulemia 

The process of learning or memorizing by rote, subsequently followed by the regurgitation of that knowledge onto an exam answer sheet. Just as with the serious eating disorder, this form of bulemia results in no real retention of substance.

This term is frequently applied to describe a common practice of young medical students.
I can't remember anything that I learned last night. It's like I grabbed the answer sheet, puked out all the answers and forgot everything immediately. I'd say that's academic bulemia.

Sharon: Tanya, you have serious shopping bulemia. There are people that can help you.

Intellectual bulimia 

Cramming information hand over fist into one's brain to hold onto it just long enough to purge it all out onto the exam in order to make room for the next "binge".
Man, I completely forgot EVERYTHING after writing that test. I have major intellectual bulimia!

Backdoor Bulimia 

Taking Laxatives regularly to exit food from your system before you gain weight. This is exactly the same as traditional Bulimia however the food passes through your anus not your mouth.
Damn Danny, yesterday I had a binge eating session and ate McDonalds, KFC, Burger King and Dominos Pizza. I'm feeling super guilty so I took a few Laxatives and am going to eject all that bad food out my anus before it sticks to my love handles. Love a bit of the old Backdoor Bulimia!
Backdoor Bulimia by JohnnyBad August 26, 2017
Serious eating disorder involving an obsessive need to loose weight and a distorted body image. People with this disorder binge eat and then take steps to ovoid gaining weight. Such as vomiting, excessive exercise, or fasting. Can be life-threatening from heart failure. Side effects include tooth decay and staining, inflammation of esophagus from frequent vomiting and electrolyte imbalances that cause heart failure. People with bulimia are often a normal weight to slightly overweight. Also called Bulimia Nervosa.
(Bulimia as an inner voice:)
Rue: I haven't eaten in two days. I think all just have a snack.
Bulimia: You should eat as much as possible.

Rue: After eating all of that, I feel awful.
Bulimia: You should feel awful. Go vomit it all up so you don't gain weight.
