Hi. I am 40 years old woman. I have always been fat. I have tried many different products to lose some weight. Nothing really works. Now I have started to purge myself after every meal. I just put a finger in my mouth and when I`m finished I feel a lot better. Like I didn`t eat a thing. How normal is this?! A friend of mine told me I have bulimia. I feel like I am too old for this. I am 40 years old, after all (41 in May) Am I too old for this?
Hi. Bulimia usually affects young women, but there is no right age for bulimia to develop. Even men can suffer from bulimia. No, I don`t think you can be too old for bulimia, or any kind of an eating disorder. The cause of bulimia is still unknown. However, it is known that bulimia hits usually girls in western world countries, especially dancers and models. I suffer from bulimia. I feel like it is all in my head, but when start eating I can`t stop myself. I think I`ll seek professional help. I don`t think I can handle it by myself. My family has been very supportive so far, but I need more help.
