yes.
Bulimia nervosa, more commonly known as bulimia, is an eating disorder. It is a psychological condition in which the subject engages in recurrent binge eating followed by an intentional purging. This purging is done in order to compensate for the excessive intake of the food and to prevent weight gain. Purging typically takes the form of vomiting; inappropriate use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics or other medication; excessive physical exercise; or fasting. New research suggests that some sufferers may have a hormonal imbalance of testosterone; however, this research is in its early stages. The word bulimia comes from the the Latin (būlīmia) from the Greek βουλῑμια (boulīmia), ravenous hunger, compounded from βους (bous), ox + λῑμος (līmos), hunger.

Nah, no way. But if a month later you are still throwing up, calling Ralph, or get lucky with chucky, you are bulimic then.

why? if your overweight it's easier and more fun to work out or take a walk than to throw up......besides your hurting yourself more by throwing up the acid in your stomach will eat the enamel off of your teeth and then you have more problems. So why not just take a walk and enjoy the view.
ENJOY LIFE
