Celebrities with Bulimia Nervosa

What is Bulimia Nervosa? I know it's not a common term. In fact I had no idea what it was when I first heard of it. According to my research:

Bulimia nervosa, commonly known as bulimia, is an eating disorder in which the subject engages in recurrent binge eating followed by feelings of guilt, depression, and self-condemnation. The sufferer will then engage in compensatory behaviors to make up for the excessive eating, which are referred to as "purging". Purging can take the form of vomiting, fasting, the use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics or other medications, or overexercising. (wikipedia)



Now you know! It's an eating disorder. Now that's simpler! (Lol)

Once celebrity with Bulimia Nervosa is Gilda Radner. She is an Emmy Award winning American Comedienne and actress best known for her five years as part of the original cast of the NBC comedy series Saturday Night Live.
