On eating disorders

Me: Oh my God, I am so full. I don't think I can finish this cake.

Cousin Desiree: I know.

Me: I want to make myself throw up so I can eat more.

Cousin Desiree: What are you, bulimic?

Me: No, that's not bulimia.

Cousin Desiree: Binge? Purge?

Me: Yeah, but if I binge-purge-binge and there's no final purge, it's not bulimia. It's just making room.

Cousin Desiree: Huh. I guess you're right.
