Chipmunk cheeks: Physical signs and symptoms of bulimia calluses or scars on the knuckles or hands from sticking fingers down the throat to induce vomiting. Puffy “chipmunk” cheeks caused by repeated vomiting. Discolored teeth from exposure to stomach acid when throwing up. May look yellow, ragged, or clear. Not underweight – men and women with bulimia are usually normal weight or slightly overweight.
