Reverse course: Healthy exercise routines do NOT cause bulimia or other eating/body image disorders. Those problems can lead to a symptom of excessive exercise as part of the disturbed eating/body image. Talk w/ a coach at your gym or your health provider about your wishes and be honest w/ them. If they fear an ED, let them offer a Tx plan that can still include healthy exercise + therapy if you need it.
