There is an anorexic woman in my neighborhood who is also bulimic. She will gorge herself at parties and always carries this HUGE jug of water. I've heard so many women gripe about how she can finish off platters of appetizers!

She is very tiny, has had to have her front teeth capped, and in the summer she runs at 3pm in the heat of the day wearing long sweat pants and a sweat top, with an additional band of some sort around her waist to cause additional sweating. She looks like death in that heat.

And as probably would be expected, her children have suffered due to her complete obsession with eating.

When anorexia/bulimia are mixed with an exercise obsession, it can be devastating. I dated a woman who was that combination AND an alcoholic on top of it. Almost like clockwork, she would put down a TON of shots, beers, mixed drinks, you name it, and she would force herself to vomit shortly thereafter.

She ran marathons, took a spinning class almost daily, and she was an exceptionally picky eater. I figured out her “secret” when we first kissed and it tasted like a vomit-flavored sour candy.
