Why did the girl lose 49 pounds and suddenly eat chocolate for 4 hours?
According to reports, Li Miao (a pseudonym), a girl of 16 years old, lost 49 pounds crazily. After tasting a piece of chocolate this Spring Festival, her long-suppressed appetite finally broke out and she began to overeat. After each meal, she vomited by hand, took laxatives or fasted to keep fit. Doctors in the Second People's Hospital of Hunan Province diagnosed Li Miao with bulimia nervosa.

Li Miao herself said that she was in the first year of high school. As an art student, she has high demands on her image. Her classmates are using all kinds of face-lifting, leg-lifting, slimming and whitening products. "Compared with my classmates, I am the fattest and my skin is darker. They sometimes laugh at me. " After that, she began to make up her mind to lose weight. Through extreme dieting, strenuous exercise and taking diet pills, she reduced her weight from 128 kg to 79 kg, which finally gave her confidence in herself.

It is reported that during the period of losing weight, she lost her desire for food and even had symptoms such as nausea, amenorrhea and emotional deterioration. During the Spring Festival this year, Li Miao, who lost weight successfully, couldn't stand the persuasion of others and took a bite of chocolate. This smell completely stimulated her appetite for half a year. "I ate chocolate for four hours until I vomited.

Later, Li Miao was sent to the Second People's Hospital. Ma Jing, director of the Department of Pediatric Psychology, said that Li Miao's weight loss went to extremes and developed into a mental disorder with abnormal eating behavior-bulimia nervosa. Bulimia nervosa mostly occurs in young women, characterized by recurrent, uncontrollable and impulsive overeating, followed by self-induced vomiting, laxatives, fasting and excessive exercise to avoid weight gain.
