Seeing your body as something other than it’s not is known as body dysmorphia. Anorexia involves severely restricting your food intake in order to lose weight. Bulimia is when people eat, but then “purge” it by making themselves sick or taking laxatives.
EDIT:
Put simply, if you are anorexic – you don’t eat
if you are bulimic, you do eat, but you make yourself sick. Those are technical definitions, the problem is, many anorexics are also bulimic and vice versa.
Bulimia is an eating disorder where individuals vomit after meals. Anorexia is another eating disorder where individuals starve themselves to get thinner.
I’m sure the people who have either one of the disorders look at themselves in the mirror and think they’re fat (whether or not they are)
Anorexia is when someone starves themselves or restricts food in order to lose weight. Bulimia is when someone binges (eats a large quantity of food) then purges it (throws it up or uses laxatives) in order to lose weight. Both are mental disorders and need immediate treatment or will result in death. Both anorexics and bulimics would look at themselves in the mirror and think they were fat. Hope this helps! =)
Bulimia – You eat a lot at once (called a binge/binging) And then you do something to get rid of what you’ve done, such as; Excessive exercise, induced vomiting (purging) take laxatives, diuretics, and water pills etc.
Anorexia – Most anorexics will purge as well, but its not that common, for the reason they dint binge, and have no need to purge. But yes, ana’s do purge as well.
They are both MENTAL diseases, and people do not choose to have them.
