How do bulimics act around mealtime?

Usually food is eaten rapidly during the binge, less chews per swallow, which may sound like an odd way of looking, but food is literally eaten rapidly, almost gulped. Large amounts of food are eaten in a short period of time and there is really very little enjoyment during the eating. So, using the term "savouring the eating", there is very little of that in bulimics. It is sort of like a driven, desperate form of eating. A feeling of being out of control and then eating in a short period of time excessive amounts, followed by either tiredness, guilt or by the regurging behaviours or the compensatory behaviours. It is a very unusual episode; it is not the usual social eating. It is not the savouring of some delightful food that one wants. All of that kind of social pleasure or individual pleasure is gone.
