Distinguishing if someone is bulimic is typically not the easiest thing to spot, like anorexia. Most of the time bulimics are at average or just below weight because they may only binge to maintain their current, but of course not always. A particular detail to pay attention to would be if they run the water while their in the bathroom, most of the time this is done to cover up the sound of vomiting. Bulimics right after meals will go to the bathroom or wait three hours before the food digests. If at home the bulimic will even go drastically as taking a shower so they can do their rituals privately in there . Bulimics will usually say statements such as how fat they feel , exclaiming that they need to lose weight or often asking " how do i look " / looking in mirrors or their reflection often.In most cases, more food is obviously eaten than the normal, their engulfed in overachieving behavior, and frequent weighing. After a binge / purge the person will usually " punish " themselves by starvation or a brutal workout. The main reason for this is because it's the one thing that they can control in an out of control life. |
