Love = Answers?

First comes love.. Then comes marriage.. Then comes the cure to bulimia? Recently, a Norwegian study has found that reduced bulimia symptoms occur in women that move in with a partner or marry. However, this doesn't mean that the women are cured.

The research finds that the women's most serious problems associated with the eating disorder: bingeing and purging, tend to cease when living with a boyfriend or husband, but, they did not show any improvement in self-esteem or body satisfaction.
