I’ve always wondered, I didn’t know much about the subject.
Haha, nope, never. I am most certainly not bulimic or anorexic, nor do I plan to be for I know it’s horrible for your body. I was just curious
Thanks for all the answers!

When someone is bulimic, they eat a lot of food at once, then throw it up. When someone is anorexic, they starve themselves. Both are very harmfulll for your health and body. If you or anyone you know has these diseases call your local hospital for support groups.
boulimics go on binges and purges were the eat a lot and then throw it up. and anorexics eat very little for long amounts of times. sometimes years.
Anorexia – reduced caloric intake related to distortion in body image and other psychological drives.
Bulimia – also related to psychological drives but characterised by binging ( eating vast amounts) followed by purging (evacuation through use of laxatives or by inducing vomiting)
Bulimia nervosa, commonly known as bulimia, is an eating disorder. It is a psychological condition in which the subject engages in recurrent binge eating followed by intentional purging. This purging is done in order to compensate for the excessive intake of food, usually to prevent weight gain. Purging can take the form of vomiting; inappropriate use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics or other medication; or excessive physical exercise.
Anorexia, on the other hand, is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes an eating disorder characterized by low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight. Individuals with anorexia often control body weight by voluntary starvation.
bulimia is when you eat and make your self throw it up
anorexia is when you barely eat at all
both conditions are extremely daangerous
and are normally caused by lack of selfesteam or preasure to lose weight
if you or anyone you know show signs get them help ASAP TIS DISEASE CAN BE FATAL AND CAN AND WILL CAUSE LONG TERM DAMAGE
