What I learned on my presentation is:

• There is no sure idea on how people get Bulimia
• People die from it every day
• People can get cured from it
• How your digestive system breaks down large molecules to make them small molecules with the digestion juices
• It is more likely that women get it

:Some of this information was mine but I got allot of it form internet sources.

3 Outcomes on my presentation is:

• I learned how to make a web page
• I learned how to sort information with appropriate Scientific language
• I learned how to use information relevant and intriguing to my project

More information on Bulimia

I have been learning alot about Bulimia Nervosa and I have been getting great information on great different topics on Bulimia. I am going to present my project with a website, http://www.yola.com/. I have been working on my website alot and I am almost finished my project.

I have also found out a bit more information:
(as shown in the picture)

This picture shows that when you have Bulimia it shows what happens to each part of your body when you have Bulimia. It harms your body greatly and you can actually die from it such as:

• A heart attack from low blood pressure
• Dehydration
• Heart failure
• Irregular heart beat
• Heart muscle weakened
• Low pulse

This disease is killing peple every day and it is very important that we are aware of it.

It was ten years ago when I became bulimic. I had always worried about my weight and how I looked. I always thought I looked fat, no matter what the scale showed or anyone said. But I had never made myself throw up — not until after college. That was a hard time for me. Living on my own and a new job were more than I could handle. I turned to food to feel more in control of my life. Sometimes, I'd eat a lot of food and throw it up. Other times, I'd throw up a normal meal. At the time, it seemed like the only way I could cope. Luckily, I got help from a friend who talked to me about my problem. It took a lot of work. But I am better now.

People with bulimia worry alot about gaining weight. They also become moody or sad and often do not wan't to go out with friends.

What causes bulimia:

• A binge can set of dieting or stress


• A binge is over-eating


• Painful emotions such as stress, anger, or saddness can also bring on binging


• This disease people think help them ease stress when you are actually doing yourself bad and give you stress


• There is no known cause of bulmia

People with bulimia can get better:

• There is alot of medical care with this disease


• Doctor's provide medical care


• A nutritionist will give you a healthy eating pattern


• A thearapist will help you throughout your thoughts and feelings


• Anti-depression pills


• Chances of getting better are greater when bulimia is found early


• Very dangerous problem

I have found a link to this person that had bulimia 10 years ago at top of page:)

Bulimia Nervosa

I am finding very interesting things about Bulimia Nervosa and I have gotten alot of information so far.





Bulimia is more than just a problem with food, it is also a problem of health. Men and Women of all ages and sizes can have this disease, and yet it is very harmful.





Places where Bulimia may come:

• Culture
  Families


• Life changes or stressful events

• Wealth

Signs of Bulimia (appearance and actions):

• Using diet pills


• Going to the bathroom after dinner


• Exercising to much


• Swollen cheaks

This is a very serious disease that people are very unaware about. People are dyeing from it every day. Yet nothing is stopping it.

Bulimia Nervosa and the Digestive System

In Science 8 I have been learning about Bulimia Nervosa.
It was founded by the British psychiatrist Gerald Russell in 1979. The word ‘Bulimia’ derives from the Latin word hunger. In this topic of discussion I have linked this to the body system I have also been studying, The Digestive System.

Bulimia Nervosa is an undetected problem that people have been trying to solve. The most common form of this disease is self-induced vomiting. Self induced vomiting can also be known as purging (eating a lot until you throw up) and/or fasting (not eating anything). This is a serious disease and people do not know the explanation. It damages your stomach because people need to eat. If you are not eating anything and getting smaller then your MBR (metabolic rate) is going down, that means that if you stop purging, fasting, or being bulimic then when you get off of that you are more than likely going to gain weight like crazy. Which means that your digestive system needs to work.

Your digestive system is started in the mouth and is completed in the small intestine. Digestion is when the food or drink goes into your mouth and mixes with foods to break down large molecules of food into small molecules of food. Digestion juices mix with the food in your mouth and break down large molecules of food into smaller molecules. Your digestive system does this because food and drink must be changed down into smaller molecules in order to be absorbed into the blood and carried the cells throughout the body to give yourself nutrients.Then it goes through the rest of your body through the whole digestive process.

So being Bulimic makes your digestive system not work properly and that means that you will not be able to obtain the foods that you could before without gaining weight. This is a very scary disease. People are dyeing from it.

And this is what I have been learning about in science 8.
