The first documented account of behavior resembling bulimia nervosa was recorded in Xenophon’s Anabasis around 370 before Christ.

Because of our image obsessed society. Tv shows and the fashion industry promotes slim, thin people. This creates pressure on regular people to stay as thin and fit as possible, never mind staying healthy. 

This pressure can lead to bulimia or other eating disorders if the person has low self-esteem.

People can also get bulimia because of other things like bullying, requirement for sports, psychological stress and poor self-esteem.

Homosexual and bisexual males are at greater risk for developing bulimia than heterosexual males. Bulimia is more common among those who have a close relative with the condition. The percentage risk that is estimated to be due to genetics is between 30% and 80%. Lifetime prevalence for bulimia nervosa is higher in Latino and African-American populations.]]> 2019-03-22 11:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/344158889 grepos_hrvs https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/344174384 We found a very good picture that shows us the negative effects about bulimia. We were surprised to see how badly bulimia can affect our body system and our mental health.

To inspire bravery. “conscious comment on bulimia”. “In no way do I want to promote bulimia,” she said, “but if my work evokes us to think about a disease that affects so many people in such a terrible way, then I feel it will at least be raising some awareness.” Gaga also discussed struggles with eating disorders with a caption “I used to throw up all the time in high school.

Demi began binge eating when she was nine and started purging soon when she was 12. Her struggles with disordered eating continued until she was 18, when she checked into rehab. While she’s now “proud of her body,” she worries that she’ll pass on bulimia to her future kids. "I'm nowhere near having children, but already I ask myself questions," she said. "My grandma had bulimia, my mom had it, I had it, and hopefully my kids won't have it, but it's kind of like addiction. It's hereditary." ]]> 2019-03-26 08:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/345138240 silsve_hrvs https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/345138473 Everyone knows the famous actor Lindsay Lohan.

I had people that said to me ‘You're going to die if you don't take care of yourself'."  ]]> 2019-03-26 08:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/345138473 scout12368 https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/345138984 Kesha is an American singer, songwriter and rapper.

But many people who are suffering from bulimia often think that it is positive to vomit everything out because they don’t gain weight even though they have eaten large amounts of food.]]> 2019-03-27 19:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/345881055 silsve_hrvs https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/345890926  I think bulimia is very dangerous, because when people throw up so often, people are very likely not to get their nourishment and therefore can not live a normal life, they don't have energy for the day. when the patient has throw up for a long time, it will be very easy for them to throw up. if this continues, patients may find it difficult to eat without throwing up.]]> 2019-03-27 20:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/345890926 scout12368 https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/346328213 In my opinion bulimia is something that everyone should speak up about when they do have bulimia. Bulimia can make you struggle for years and years if you don’t seek for help, I think everyone should never ever experience such a struggle in there life it can affect your mental health and your body system like a disease.]]> 2019-03-28 20:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/346328213 silsve_hrvs https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/346333892 Before we started working on our project I barely knew what bulimia was. What surprised me most while working on this project was to see how much bulimia can affect you, your body system and your mental health. I think it’s a step in the right direction for those who suffer from bulimia to open up about it. Even though it’s difficult to talk about it I think it’s very important because  I think it can help others who are suffering from bulimia]]> 2019-03-28 20:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/346333892 grepos_hrvs https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/346493201 I didin’t know what bulimia was before me and my group started this. At first I thought that bulimia was like anorexia, but I realized that’s not the same. I was surprised that so many celebrities suffered from it or are still suffering. It’s really bad diagnose which I couldn’t imagine suffering from. There are so many negative effects, the fact that most people suffering from bulimia end up giving their life up is really sad. ]]> 2019-03-29 11:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/grepos_hrvs/pppiyy9bgr0o/wish/346493201
