Bulimia is an eating disorder in which sufferers binge on food and then make themselves sick in an attempt to avoid weight gain. In between episodes of bingeing, they may feel anxious that they will lose control of themselves and binge again. If you have bulimia, you may think a lot about your weight and physical appearance, lack confidence, and that you lack control over your eating.
People with anorexia believe they are overweight when they may, in fact, be underweight - sometimes dangerously so. If you have anorexia, you may severely restrict your eating or exercise excessively, and find that you are preoccupied with your eating and body shape. You may be low in mood and feel irritable, due to the effects of eating too little.
Binge eating disorder involves recurrent episodes of binge eating in the absence of vomiting, excessive exercise, or undereating in between episodes. Sufferers may become very overweight and experience low self-esteem and physical health problems as a result.
Psychological therapy can help sufferers of eating disorders to eat healthily and to overcome issues with self-esteem and lack of confidence.
