A member asked:
Can you please explain bulimia and can bulimics be fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : People with bulimia are typically normal or slightly over wt. Bulimia is a potentially life-threatening eating disorder. People with this condition binge eat. They then take steps to avoid weight gain. Most commonly, this means vomiting (purging). But it can also mean excessive exercising or fasting.
