ABSTRACT

DO I SUFFER FROM BULIMIA? There is a bewildering number of labels that acknowledge that a person has a problem with overeating and is distressed about it. You may have come across some of them: compulsive overeating, bulimia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or bulimarexia. These labels overlap and have an awful lot in common with each other. Prob~ems with overeating can occur in people ofany body weight (skinny, average, and overweight). This book has been written for people who fall into any of these categories. Ifyou are unsure whether any ofthis fits you, fill in and score the test in Table 1.1.
