  • They are usually sensitive & intelligent people who tend to turn into control freaks.
  • Indulge in self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse, diuretic abuse, excessive fasting and compulsive exercise
  • They are very emotional and alternate between periods of overeating and then a self-inflicted starvation.
