Bulimic????!

Bulimic????

My question is a simple one, and just so people know, I am not planning on attemping any of these things I am happy and fine with my weight, I am just interetsead that is all, So I hear that a person that doesnt eat over a long perido of time gets Bulimic but does that also include throwing up? or just not eating or both, I have also heard that straving yourself is no way of losing weight, because your body just stores and keeps all the fat, so what Im wondering is, what is it a person does to get Bulimic if not eatig only keeps them being fat???

Not eating does not make you stay fat. What happens with people who suffer from bulimia is the body starts to eat away at the muscle tissue. Our body has what we consider "good fat". Its needed to protect our organs, joints, etc. Once someone starts to starve themselves, the body has nothing to eat on but muscle tissue hince why you see many people without any muscle, fat, etc. Bulimia is a psychological disorder and people who suffer from this are not able to process factual information. A person thinks, "as long as I don't eat I'll lose weight" True indeed, but eventually your body will become your worst enemy and start to harm you worst than your hurting yourself. I research in the area of health promotion so I hope this helps to shed some light on your questions. Feel free to ask more if this is unclear or does not answer your question.
