Could This Indiacate An Eating Disorder Posted: 04-25-06 06:13am
Hi,
i live with a woman of 30 (flat mate) and
have started to think that she may be
bulimic.
We eat very well together, oftern dishes
with cream, butter etc..., but every time
I go to use the toilet there is an
excessive amount of unused toilet paper in
the bowl. I think that she is being sick
and putting the paper in the bowl to hide
any sick that may come back up the pipe.
She is about 7 stone all the time. She
drinks quite excessively in the week and
spends most weekends drunk. However she
appears to be quite happy and positive
most of the time, with loads of energy.
Could this be possible that she has
bulimia?
Do you think that it would be a good idea
to talk to her about the issue; we are not
all that close.

Well, I can be, but you aren't sure of
what's happening, are you? :\
i think you should approach to her, maybe
one time, if you see that again - lots of
toilet paper, her spending a lot of time
in the bathroom or frequently going to the
bathroom after meals - you could consider
asking her if she felt sick or something
and see what she tells you.
But don't expect flowers, specially if you
ask her if she is bulimic or so... :f

Have you thought about 'creeping' towards
the toilet to see if you can hear
anything. When mia throws up alot in the
toilet once the toilet is flushed quite
often the water is not clear but kinda
discoloured/vomity. I flush twice but if
thats in earshots its supiscious.
Take a deeper look in the bowl, i.E try
and peer under the rim there may be
splattered remains of vomits from previous
days etc.
Hope it helps.

Be pretty sure before u confront her.
Deathx had good tips also flushing the
toilet twice can mean she is trying to get
all the vomit to go down.

Yep, I agree with them, too.
If you do something, let you know..
