2. Bulimia Nervosa - recurrent episodes of binge eating. They eat in a discrete period of
time. A lot more food than in a normal/regular setting (over indulging). They eat to this
point all the time
○ Eats in a short time (~2 hours) are larger amount of food than one would expect
○ Has a sense of lack of control when they’re eating DURING the episode. Not
before or after
→ inappropriate compensatory behaviors
○ Difference? The person does not have a low body weight!!
○ Concerned about being overweight

○ Eat more rapidly than normal
○ Eat until full
○ Eat alone

FEEDING and EATING DISORDERS - the person is self eating. They are choosing to
binge/purge/restrict.
1. Anorexia Nervosa - super underweight. Super distorted body image.
2. Bulimia Nervosa - excessively fast/exercise
Biggest difference between these two is if the person is super thin and a super distorted body
image.
3. Binge Eating - binging of bulimia nervosa but no purging.
