Explanation:

Bulimia nervosa involves recurrent episodes of binge - eating (like eating a whole box of cookies) followed by compensatory behaviors (such as forcing oneself to throw up to prevent weight gain). Anorexia nervosa is more about restricted eating and extreme weight loss. Binge - eating disorder has binge - eating but no compensatory behaviors. Obesity is a medical condition related to excess body fat, not the described behavior pattern.

Bulimia nervosa
