Nope. Binge eating is a disorder in itself, where you eat huge amounts of food in short amounts of time, in a compulsive manner. Bulimia is a disorder consisting of binge purging, or compulsively making yourself vomit, especially after eating.

So long as these binge eating episodes aren't followed by attempts to make yourself vomit or intense workout sessions to 'make up' for the huge calorie intakes, you're not bulimic.

I do intense workout sessions

[kaylaS91]

do you do those out of guilt for the huge amounts of food you ate previously, and workout to the point of feeling almost nauseous? & also following the binges, do you feel guilty/disgusted with your food intake?

[Asker]

yeah

It's impossible for us to say. You should see a professional.

If you are binge-eating and then purging that is seriously dangerous. You can permanently damage your health in a short time.

Haha, alright, I was just wondering. But do you throw up when you eat?
