The problem with writing a book about bulimia is that whenever you go to the washroom, people think you're throwing up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.
A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn't have an ego when it's wanting to throw up. It just does it.
I'm a former bulimic myself and it's a horrible, horrible addiction.
People tell me that I should eat more, but they don't know me: I eat a lot. It's pretty unpleasant that people assume every model is anorexic and bulimic.
I realized I was an anorexic, a bulimic, and a compulsive overeater.
People aren't throwing themselves at me, but I also don't go out very much. Like, when I do go out, it's for breakfast, so it's a little hard to throw yourself at me during breakfast.
Anorexia, you starve yourself. Bulimia, you binge and purge. You eat huge amounts of food until you're sick and then you throw up. And anorexia, you just deny yourself. It's about control.
Anorexia and bulimia seem to be getting much more common in boys, men, and women of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds; they are also becoming more common in racial groups previously thought to be impervious to the problem.
As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.
The more people talk about eating disorders, the more people get the real story about what they're like.
