Would this be considered bulimea: After eating, excerseing to much to work off all the weight you ate? Is that considered buliemea?

I cant say I'm an expert or anything of the sort, but my understanding is that bulimia is about binging followed some form of compensatory action, anything from vomiting, fasting or laxatives to exercise. If you feel that what you're doing is unheathy then you're probably right. The best thing you can do is seek and accept help. Good luck.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that it can be classed as Bulimia. Bulimia is when you Binge and then Purge. A 'Purge' is defined as any erratic action to counteract the Binge. So, like puzzle said, it can be anything like self-induced vomitting, fasting, laxative-use, or exercise. Exercise is increasing in the Western World as a method of purging due to all of the recent hype about gyms and keeping fit.
