Description: of them have any interest in science whatsoever, let alone a desire to go into science as a career. So we have this remarkably efficient system for beating any interest in science out of everybody's head. Is this what we want? I think this comes from what a teacher colleague of mine calls "the bulimic method of education."

Jane Fonda

I was in my mid-40s. I was a bulimic, and I realized if I continue with this addiction of mine, I will not be able to continue doing my life. The older you get the more damage it does; it takes longer to recover from a binge. And it was very hard.

American Actress

Marti Noxon

That went on for a long time: telling various tales from my experience being anorexic and bulimic, and having people say, 'You've got to write this; you are a writer,' and me not knowing how to approach the material.

American Writer

Lindsay Lohan

I'm not skinny for the wrong reasons. It's not because I'm bulimic or anorexic or doing drugs. Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.

Cheryl James

I didn't want to get back into the whole industry. I left overworked, overwhelmed, and not having any control over my life. I was bulimic and needed to heal.

American Musician

Elizabeth Jagger

People tell me that I should eat more, but they don't know me: I eat a lot. It's pretty unpleasant that people assume every model is anorexic and bulimic.

American Model

Felicity Huffman

I was bulimic and anorexic for a while, just hating my body. As an actress, I was never thin enough, never pretty enough. My boobs weren't big enough.

Janice Dickinson

I'm a former bulimic myself and it's a horrible, horrible addiction.

Alanis Morissette

As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.

Canadian Musician

Use 'bulimic' sensitively as it refers to a serious health issue.

Medical Condition

Never use 'bulimic' as an insult, it's a medical term for a disorder.

Not Insult

Discussing bulimic behavior might be uncomfortable or triggering for some.

Contextual Sensitivity

When saying someone is bulimic, focus on the person, not the illness.

Person-Centered

Respect privacy; don't label someone bulimic without their consent.

Privacy Respect

Show empathy, avoiding any tone of judgment when talking about bulimics.
