'''Bulimia nervosa''' is a disorder where the individual fears becoming fat, and therefore eats large quantities of food, and then proceeds to force themselves to vomit the food back up.

'''Bulimia nervosa''' is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors, or "purging". Types of purging include self-induced vomiting, fasting, overexercising, or the abuse of laxatives, enemas, or diuretics.

 

Because suffers from bulimia tend to be an average weight, this disorder tends be more difficult to diagnose than other eating disorders.

This disorder occurs among some who suffer from [[anorexia]].
