This is a list of notable people who have had bulimia nervosa. Often simply known as bulimia, this is an eating disorder which is characterized by consuming a large amount of food in a short amount of time, followed by an attempt to rid oneself of the calories consumed, usually by self-induced vomiting, laxatives, diuretics or excessive exercise. Eating disorders are known to be more common in people whose occupations involve significant focus on appearance, like athletes or celebrities.[1]
