Statistics
 About 2% of all adolescents and young women are bulimic.
 5-15% of all adult women have some symptoms of the disorder.
 64% of all bulimics have a near-normal body weight
 70% of all bulimics also suffer from moderate to severe depression.
 Statistics on bulimia tell us that people with bulimia binge, on
    average, 11 times per week.
   Homosexual males are more likely to develop bulimia than
    heterosexual males.
   Half of all anorexics also develop bulimic tendencies.
   In up to 60% of cases, patients with bulimia nervosa report prior
    histories of anorexia nervosa.
   In Western society, eating disorders occur primarily among
    Caucasian women. Women of color seem less prone to eating
    disorders because thinness isn’t a requirement in beauty, since role
    models for them would be of average size or even overweight.
History of Bulimia
 Bulimia was first described in ancient Roman times
  when citizens forced themselves to purge in order to
  prolong their enjoyment of a heavy meal.
 In 1903, a French psychiatrist Pierre Janet was one of
  the first to publish a description of a patient who
  binged and purged but never lost her appetite.
 Also, an American physician Albert Stunkard, an
  expert on obesity, identified bulimia in contemporary
  terms in 1959, but for many years the illness was
  considered a variation of anorexia.
 It wasn’t until the late 1980’s that bulimia was
  recognized as a distinct disorder, and by 1987 it was
  finally given the term bulimia nervosa.
Binge Eating
 Bulimia nervosa is characterized by frequent episodes
  of binge eating associated with emotional distress and
  a sense of loss of control.
 Binge eating: Eating an extremely large amount of
  food in a short period of time. The person recognizes
  their loss of control of eating during this time.
 Overeating episode: The consumption of an unusually
  large amount of food in a defined period. The person
  doesn’t realize they’ve lost control of how much they
  eat.
 Subjective bulimic episode: The consumption of
  objectively minimal amounts of food in a defined
  period with a perception of loss of control.
Bulimic Cycle
Exams and Tests
 Dental exams may show gum infections (such as gingivitis)
  Enamel of the teeth may be worn away due to the constant
  exposure of acid in the vomit.
 Doctors will:
  -Ask for your medical history reports.
  -Request a physical exam to check your heart, lungs, blood
  pressure, weight, mouth, skin, and hair for diet problems.
  -Screen questions about your eating habits and how you feel
  about your health.
  -A mental health assessment to check for depression or anxiety.
  -X-rays which can show whether your bones have weakened by
  malnutrition
Physical Activity

As it relates to Bulimia
Physical Activity
        Exercise Bulimia: Similar
         to Anorexia
         Athletica, Exercise
         Bulimia is a disorder in
         which a person is
         compelled to exercise; in
         an effort to burning
         calories of food energy
         and fat reserves. This is
         done to an excessive
         level that negatively
         affects their health.
Treatment
 The successful treatment of bulimia includes both medical and
  psychological treatment.
 About 80% of bulimics who receive treatment achieve remission
  within three months. However, relapse is common.

Treatment Options:
 Nutritional Counseling
 Psychotherapy: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
 Interpersonal therapy
 Self-Help
 Medication
Exercise Plan
 In creating your exercise plan, you’re making a plan
  that works for you, not one that is favored by others.
  Being positive and enjoying your work out is a closer
  step to an efficient recovery.
                Warm up       Work Out        Cool Down

    Monday,     5-10 minute   Doing an        5-10 minute
    Wednesday   stretch       activity you    stretch
    & Friday                  enjoy for
                              about 30
                              minutes.
    Tuesday &   5-10 minute   Higher          5-10 minute
    Thursday    stretch       intensity,      stretch
                              work out will
                              be for about
                              15-20
                              minutes.
Steps to Recovery
 Admit you have a problem- The first step in bulimia
  recovery is admitting that your relationship to food is
  distorted and out of control.
 Talk to someone- Find a good listener—someone
  who will support you as you try to get better.
 Stay away from people, places, and activities that
  trigger the temptation to binge and purge- You may
  need to avoid looking at fashion or fitness magazines,
  spend less time with friends who constantly diet and
  talk about losing weight, and stay away from weight
  loss web sites.
 Seek professional help- The advice and support of
  trained eating disorder professionals can help you
  regain your health, learn to eat normally again, and
  develop healthier attitudes about food and your body.
How does Physical Activity help?
 Regular exercise can be
  one of the most effective
  techniques to treat
  virtually any disorder.

 Physical activities such as
  horseback
  riding, bicycling, hiking, co
  mpetitive sports, and
  virtually any other form of
  exercise can serve as a
  distraction and positive
  addition to the life of
  someone who is
  recovering from an eating
  disorder.
Prevention
 Early treatment may be the best way to prevent
 the disorder from progressing.

Way to Prevent Bulimia:
• Balancing school, work, social life, rest, and
  exercise
• Maintenance of good mental health
• A positive self-image of the body
• Knowledge and maintenance of healthy eating
  habits
Conclusion (Bulimia in a Glance)
 Bulimia Nervosa is a psychological eating disorder.
 There are two types of bulimia: the purging and non
    purging types.
   It can have serious medical complications.
   The successful treatment of bulimia is often
    multidisciplinary, involving both medical and
    psychological approaches.
   The goals of treatment are to restore physical health
    and normal eating patterns.
   Early treatment may be the best way to prevent the
    disorder from progressing.

History of Bulimia  Bulimia was first described in ancient Roman times when citizens forced themselves to purge in order to prolong their enjoyment of a heavy meal.  In 1903, a French psychiatrist Pierre Janet was one of the first to publish a description of a patient who binged and purged but never lost her appetite.  Also, an American physician Albert Stunkard, an expert on obesity, identified bulimia in contemporary terms in 1959, but for many years the illness was considered a variation of anorexia.  It wasn’t until the late 1980’s that bulimia was recognized as a distinct disorder, and by 1987 it was finally given the term bulimia nervosa.
