Have you ever heard of this health condition? 

Some people may be confused and think that Bulimia nervosa or Bulimia (in short) is actually a throat condition. However, Bulimia is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder and a mental health disorder. With bulimia, one has episodes of bingeing and purging that involve feeling a lack of control over your eating. Many people with bulimia also restrict their eating during the day, which often leads to more binge eating and purging. This is due to the obsession with their own weight and body shape.

During these episodes, sufferers typically eat a large amount of food in a short time and then try to rid of the extra calories in an unhealthy way (forced vomiting, laxatives or over-exercise). This is due to the sense of guilt, shame and an intense fear of weight gain from overeating.

This disease is highly common in young adults who experience low self-esteem. When entering adolescents, they worry about their figure and fear that they will be obese. Therefore, purging is a shortcut to getting rid of the food consumed and losing weight quick. But of course, it's not true weight loss and most of these group of people are actually not fat.
