bulimia

The Bella Vita and TAABOO are hosting a Walk at Pierce College in Woodland Hills on Sunday March 1 @ 1:00pm to help raise money for research, awareness and treatment of Eating Disorders. This is important because nearly 10 million females and 1 million males across the United States are struggling with the active, destructive eating disorders anorexia and bulimia.

Bulimia is an eating disorder that is defined by periodic binge eating followed deliberate purging.  By purging, a bulimic compensates for excessive eating and to prevent gaining weight.

Bulimics exhibit many symptoms, some of the common ones are:

• Repeated episodes of bingeing and purging
• Feeling out of control during a binge
• Purging after a binge (vomiting, excessive exercise, use of laxatives, diet pills, diuretics, or fasting)
• Frequent dieting
• Extreme concern with body weight and shape
