That said, I think a more accurate description of Hohan's food problems would be "purging anorexia." Bulimia generally involves eating normal meals without purging, but following that up with larger binge/purge cycles. Purging anorexia means throwing up most of what you eat, or everything you eat, and can lead to extreme weight loss. As you said, true bulimics tend to be on the normal-to-chunky side. But the general public who is not well-acquainted with eating disorders tends to believe that anybody who throws up is bulimic.
I agree with this. I have a friend who used to be both anorexic and bulimic, and she was frighteningly thin. I think it's entirely possible that Miss Lohan is battling both since they do seem to come hand-in-hand for a lot of people.
