There are many other ways a person tries to get rid of food when they feel they have overeaten. These methods include: exercise, laxative use, restriction, etc.

Yes we are all pretty familiar with anorexia and bulumia because of the noteriety they have gained because famous people are always admitting they suffered from them. But where as with bulimia once the food has been eaten the person will then try different ways of purging it from their body as soon as possible.
