The female population makes up a large percentage of people who suffer from bulimia. Those who are mostly affected are the ones in the late stages of adolescence. Of course, not all bulimics come from these specified groups or classifications.
What is bulimia?
PRESSURE SORES STAGES
Bulimia is an eating disorder. Bulimics are afraid that they are not thin enough. They are extremely conscious of their bodies and how they might be carrying around excess fat. People who have bulimia often indulge themselves in binge eating, or taking in huge quantities of food within a short period of time. However, after these binges, they often disappear to the bathroom to purge their bodies of the food that they have just ingested. In purging their bodies, they often resort to self-induced vomiting.
What are the characteristics of people with bulimia?
The effects of bulimia are often felt after a long period of time. Bulimics often suffer from complications that arise from the illness itself. Due to the lack of nutrition and sustenance in their bodies, people with bulimia are mostly malnourished and look unhealthily thin. They have a skewed self-image, feeling that they are too fat, when in fact, they are not. Other bulimics also suffer from a nagging sore throat that doesn't improve over time, very low blood pressure, swollen glands in the throat and mouth area, tooth decay, dizziness, weakness, cramps, pain in the chest and abdomen and variety of other problems.
Who are some famous people who struggled with bulimia?
Anyone can suffer from bulimia. Famous people such as the late Princess Diana suffered from this condition. She claimed that the condition actually started during her troubled marriage with Prince Charles. Another person with bulimia is the author and comedian Joan Rivers. She developed the disorder right after the tragic death and suicide of her husband. Fitness expert Jane Fonda also suffered from bulimia.
