Bulimia

[carmen_richards]

Who knows anything about bulimia?
I ask this because... most of you know I have an 11 year old daughter... she has been to see a psychologist for her accident claim that we are pursuing for a car crash. He said that she is very mature for her age and is more knowlegable than maybe she should be.
Her moods are also swinging terrible, she will not eat much food.
She needs a sugar rush every day... i.e she will beg the hell out of me for money or she will steel it and buy sweets. Then her meals consist of just a few carrots or two or three teaspoons full of food. Today for example she ate a pack of mints, about a tablespoon full of veg and 1/4 a cup a soup (With us threatening to stand and make her eat it).
About ten mins later she came down stairs while I was on my DS and stunk of mints, and also sick. I could smell sick on her clothes... she denied it of course. She said it was not her, so I told her to put her night clothes on and see if I could still smell it. I couldnt... so I told her it is on the clothes you just took off.

I questioned her... do you wanna lose weight? She laughed and slunk down into her seat, I then said "I will ask you a straight question... are you making yourself sick?" Again she laughed and could not look at me and went red in the face.

Is this bulimia?
