Put so much value on being thin, this fear leads some extreme measures to reduce food which can impart negatively on the entire body build

Because of stimulating the purge..the chemicals in stomach gets to mouth..this can erode the teeth..they start having teeth problem and infection
As they try to vomit, they can tear the throat (Oesophagus) and vomit blood. This becomes an emergency

The cheeks can actually look big ..why?
As so much acid is coming into the mouth..one of salivary glands called PAROTID gland has to extra work to dilute it..so it gets bigger
The Hand they put in their mouth due to acid from the stomach touching it..the hand starts to harden

BINGE EATING DISORDER
this almost looks like Bulimia but is different. They binge eat (eat lots of food in a short time ) but don't purge themselves
Eg just go to a restaurant and 1ce in A week. Eat so much to stupor
It actually increases the risk of one having Diabetes

Also the Brain controls feeding.
A part controls satisfaction and another controls hunger
If there is a problem with hunger, the person won't eat well because they're not feeling hungry
if the person has a problem with satisfaction; they'd keep eating and can't feel satisfied

A popular case is Rudine Howard who made it to the Opera show

She wanted to get help but didn't know where to start. She tried penning a book to encourage & motivate people how to fight ANOREXIA
Sadly she died 2 years after
