Bulimia Sucks | Kate Hudson Hall

People who have bulimia are in a cycle of eating a huge amount of food in a very sort space of time and then either make themselves vomit, take laxatives or diuretics, starve themselves or do a large amount of exercise otherwise known as purging. Men and women of any age can develop bulimia, but it is particularly common in females and typically starts in the late teens.

Bulimia
Bulimia (boo-LEE-me-uh) nervosa, commonly called bulimia, is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder. People with bulimia may secretly binge — eating large amounts of food with a loss of control over the eating — and then purge, trying to get rid of the extra calories in an unhealthy way.

To get rid of calories and prevent weight gain, people with bulimia may use different methods. For example, you may regularly self-induce vomiting or misuse laxatives, weight-loss supplements, diuretics, or enemas after bingeing. Or you may use other ways to rid yourself of calories and prevent weight gain, such as fasting, strict dieting, or excessive exercise.

If you have bulimia, you’re probably preoccupied with your weight and body shape. You may judge yourself severely and harshly for your self-perceived flaws. Because it’s related to self-image — and not just about food — bulimia can be hard to overcome. But effective treatment can help you feel better about yourself, adopt healthier eating patterns, and reverse serious complications. People with bulimia continue eating within their conditions. This behavior usually starts with a desire to be thinner. They binge large amounts of food and then purge to rid the body of the food (Mayo Clinic, n.d.).

The book and further podcasts will give you a far greater insight to Bulimia and help to heal you.

At the age of 18, Kate began her bulimic career in earnest. Fifteen years later and after much help. She eventually freed herself from the clutches of anorexia and bulimia. She then stepped out and decided to take a different bulimic pathway. Feeling the great need to help others as she had been helped. She then trained as a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and NLP practitioner. Having spent the last two decades working as an eating disorder therapist.

Living and working in London. It's a wonderful escape to spend summers enjoying the views from the middle of a field on her land in Cornwall overlooking the Atlantic ocean. But what with Covid, this wasn’t much fun last year!

Kate occasionally wears the family heirloom… a tiger hat!
