For the first time of my life I feel like I am in control of what I eat

Bulimia Nervosa

I am amazed that I can go to restaurants and social events and not gorge. It's a little scary - I'm doing it without too much trouble Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder marked by binging and purging. The purging may take the form of vomiting, laxative use, or extreme levels of exercise.

The social pressure on everyone, particularly young women, to be thin today is enormous. In American culture, a woman's value is inextricably linked to her body size. According to Gary Avignon, clinical experience has revealed in many cases that the purging behavior is a desperate attempt to cope with the result of the binge behavior - and the worst social fear - weight gain.

By the same token, resolution of the drive to binge or overeat can eliminate the need to binge. Gary adds that psychotherapeutic work is often necessary to sustain the abstinence from binging, but emphasizes the critically important role of nutrition in the treatment of bulimia. In any case, the treatment of bulimia is one of our sub-specialties.
