Answer 1

Bullimia is a eating disorder and for you info Princess Diana suffered from it. As far as I know you can get overweight and then due to obesity the complications follow, however snacking on chocolates and other foo items can't per-se kill you. ;-)
It's only when you eat to forget your misery or bury your sorrow that it leads to bigger problems.

Answer 2

Eating disorders have one of the highest death rates of all mental illnesses. The Eating Disorders Association (UK) estimates a 10% mortality rate[18]. An 18% mortality rate has been suggested for Anorexia Nervosa.[1] In addition to the risk of suicide, “death can occur after severe bingeing in bulimia nervosa as well”.[19] For perspective, these death rates are higher than those of some forms of cancer.

Answer 3

Bulimia is a chronic illness and many people continue to have some symptoms despite treatment. People with fewer medical complications of bulimia, and who are willing and able to engage in therapy, tend to have a better chance of recovery.

Complications

pancreatitis
dental cavities
inflammation of the throat

constipation
hemorrhoids
esophageal tears/rupture

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top

In bulimia, eating binges may occur as often as several times daily for many months. These binges cause a sense of self-disgust, which leads to compensatory behaviors like self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise. A person with bulimia may also abuse laxatives, diuretics, or enemas in order to prevent weight gain.

Such behaviors can be quite dangerous and may lead to serious medical complications over time. For example, the stomach acid which is introduced into the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach) during frequent vomiting can permanently damage this area.

Many more women than men have bulimia, and the disorder is most common in adolescent girls. The affected person is usually aware that her eating pattern is abnormal and may experience fear or guilt associated with the binge-purge episodes. Although the behavior is usually secretive, clues to this disorder include overactivity, peculiar eating habits or rituals, and frequent weighing.

Body weight is usually normal, although the person may perceive themselves as overweight. If bulimia is accompanied by anorexia, body weight may be extremely low.

The exact cause of bulimia is unknown, but factors thought to contribute to its development are family problems, perfectionist personality, and an overemphasis on physical appearance. Bulimia may also be associated with depression.
