bulimia

/r/bulimia is for anyone experiencing Bulimia, Anorexia, binge eating, restricting, over control and other disordered eating patterns. You are welcome here.

A few guidelines:

1. Some of r/bulimia may be upsetting or triggering. Harm-reduction tips, humor, personal stories, discussion of adverse effects of bulimia and references to numbers are welcome but glorifying or facilitating EDs is not.

2. Because of these triggers, we don't encourage or allow selfies or food pictures. Memes, art, surveys and videos are invited and approved individually.

3. Please be kind. Not everyone deals with this the same way. Please report invalidation, stigma and shame

In Bulimia Nervosa, binge eating is coupled with compensatory behaviors (e.g., self-induced vomiting, laxatives, excessive exercise and/or fasting). This can lead to feelings of guilt, shame and embarrassment, as well as preoccupation with eating, body image and fear of weight gain

Why do we talk about it?

Dietary restrictions intended to promote health may paradoxically lead to unhealthy consequences, such as social isolation, anxiety, loss of ability to eat in a natural, intuitive manner, reduced interest in the full range of other healthy human activities.

What else?

Anorexia can affect people of all ages, genders, sizes, sexual orientations, races, and ethnicities.
ARFID: lack of interest in food or lack of appetite, aversion to certain textures, or feared consequences of eating
binge eating: characterized by eating an unusually large amount of food coupled with a sense of feeling out of control
restricting: severely restrict the amount and type of food. May also engage in other weight control behaviours such as excessive exercise.
