Bulimia Nervosa & Weight: Can Individuals Be Within Normal Ranges?

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging (self-induced vomiting), excessive exercise, or fasting. People with bulimia may have normal weight, underweight, or overweight. This means that some people with bulimia may also fall within the normal range for their age and weight.
