ABSTRACT

Many people with bulimia dislike their body intensely. They treat it as an enemy that they want to control and conquer. Do you constantly watch, criticize and struggle against your body? Many sufferers of bulimia cannot face looking at themselves naked; they cannot bear to touch their body, or for anyone else to get physically close to them or touch them. Others go to the opposite extreme and excessively check their body (visually using a variety of measuring devices and rules).
