     As I write this, I am beginning my fourth day of fasting.  Fasting?  Yes, fasting.   I am eating rice, unsalted nuts, beans, fruits, vegetables, 100% juice and water.  I had spinach for breakfast so that I would not break my fast. Visions of bacon, sausage and ham with two eggs easy over medium just like I like them, danced through my head.

Later you and your friends are at a clothing store trying on clothes. Leah complains about everything she tries on saying she is too fat. You and your friends are starting to get worried about her. You think she may be bulimic, but you’re not exactly sure. Here are the causes and affects of bulimia along with some signs and symptoms to help you identify a bulimic person.
