Comment
This looks like a really interesting topic to be working on! May I suggest a section towards the end of your chapter discussing the alternatives to extrinsic motivators - shedding light on more intrinsic motives within the disease and its recovery. If so, you may find this series of articles beneficial.

Hey, this chapter is looking extremely interesting. It would be really great to look at the importance of social media and how that can affect someone and if looking at edited photos or photos of models/influencers works as a motivation. Really looking forward to reading more about this subject.--U3162204 (discuss • contribs) 08:20, 19 October 2019 (UTC) https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/doi/full/10.1002/erv.2154

Hi there, this is a really informative and well set out book chapter. To adhere to APA each figure must be referred to in the main text. e.g. An example of thinspiration is evident in Figure 4. Great job--Samuel Moorby (discuss • contribs) 08:38, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, I really enjoyed reading your chapter. I am writing a chapter on exercise addiction and thought I would suggest for you to add some information about exercise addiction that comes as a primary or secondary factor with Bulimia. U3145835

Title
Hi there, just noticed that your title is not consistent with your topic - you have: "Bulimia nervosa and extrinsic motivation: What extrinsic motivational factors contribute to anorexia nervosa?" From what I can see, you are focussing on Bulimia Nervosa and not Anorexia Nervosa, so you may need to update the question part of your title :) --U3173480 (discuss • contribs) 05:53, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Suggestion
This looks like a really interesting topic and a great start! As a suggestion, maybe including something about the impact of social media on the development of bulimia nervosa and the motivation involved in continuing. A journal article by Amon (2018) talks about the popular hashtag of 'thinspiration' which is wide spread on social media platforms such as facebook, instagram, tumblr and twitter. It provides a community of people who have a range of eating disorders, including bulimia nervosa in order to get the ideal body image of being thin. The external factors here is that people get positive peer feedback about the actions they undertake when they conform with the group and these act as external rewards to continue. This could also be linked in with self determination theory as it fulfils the three basic human emotions, the autonomy to engage in bulimic activities, the competence to be able to continue and pursue the ideal body image and the relatedness that the 'thinspiration' community can provide. It also seems like an important topic to address as it is a relatable example, and with the growing impact of social communities, its becoming more and more common.

Best of luck with your book chapter!

Comment
This seems like a really interesting topic to be working on. I enjoyed reading through what you have written about so far. Don't forget to read your work out loud or get someone external to have a read through for grammar. Well done though! --U3158296 (discuss • contribs) 23:37, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Body Image suggestion
Hey, i've just read through your chapter and it looks great so far! i just have one suggestion to make, under the heading "body image" you may like to discuss how those who suffer from Bilimia Nervosa tend to see themselves as bigger than they actually are due to distortions of their perception, i've linked a journal article which may be useful as it tests participants who suffer from Bulimia Nervousa and how they estimate the size of objects. Hope this helps :) --U3160677 (discuss • contribs) 03:03, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
