My daughter is neither overweight nor underweight, but I have found evidence of secretive eating, like dozens of candy wrappers under her bed. Whats going on?
Bulimia is often hard to recognize because bulimics don’t tend to be at an extreme weight. However, if a person takes in thousands of calories at a time, as in a dozen candy bars at one time, for instance, then purges by making herself vomit, taking laxatives or enemas, fasting, or exercising to the extreme, she has an eating disorder called bulimia. If asked, she will probably deny it, however. You should talk to your health care professional about how to approach your daughter.
