What is 'bulimia'?

During a bulimic episode, large amounts of food is eaten rather rapidly, continuously, for instance, seven bagels, large amounts of fluids, a pint of ice cream, seven tacos and things like this. It's usually eaten within an hour or two with feelings of being out of control following a period of bingeing. A binge period like that is when an individual feels guilty, they feel stuffed and full. Very often, they seek out some way of compensating for what they do. They will either go to sleep and not eat the next day, or they will regurgitate right after binging or they will take large amounts of laxatives. Other kinds of compensation consist of excessive exercise the very next day after a binge.
