So her parents didn't know she was bulimic, her husband didn't know it either, or her friends, but the author of this piece of crap does??

And as Christine Hoff Sommers has pointed out in her books, bulimia death figures in the U.S. are completely cooked by politically correct feminists and their statisticians. Read Joyce Maynard's memoir "At Home in the World" (or Jane Fonda's new book) and see how she spent most of her life as a bulimic - without managing to drop dead of a heart attack.

I agree that most bulimics do not die. Most bulimics maintain a normal weight and are not anorexic.

But some bulimics are crossovers - ie. they also have anorexia. Karen Carpenter was one. A friend of mine who died at 23 from it was also anorexic/bulimic.

Anorexic/bulimics are more likely to die.

Speaking of which... MY GOD... how could such a 'liberated' woman agree to sharing her husband(?) with a prostitute? And then tell the world of her pathetic behavior?!

Aye... the 'liberal', female mind works in ways that are foreign to us of 'lesser' station... and gender!
