Bulimia Nervosa

It is recurrent episodes of binge eating - each episode of binge eating is characterized by a) eating, within a short period of time (2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances and b) a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (a feeling that one cannot control what or how much one is eating). They also have recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior in order to prevent weight gain, ie self-induced vomiting; Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight.
