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
