I would like to know more about them. No, I'm not any of them, and I know Bulimia is when you throw up what you eat and being Anorexic is when you just don't eat. But, as I said, I want to know more.

Bulimia- People do this to loose weight. But, when the finally think they look decent, it becomes a habit. They can't stop it anymore. Finally, everytime they eat, they throw up.

Anorexic- They just don't eat. Then, they feel like eating isn't necessary, and eventually get sick and can't get healthy eating habits again.

Bulimia
-physically they look a lil fat. They usually keep their own personal foods. They binge eating, due to binge eating they burned their esophagus due to acidic enzymes that came from the stomach.

Anorexia
-They look awfully thin & emancipated, appears weak, they believe they look fat though they're not.

Eating disorders like anorexia do not only have to include someone strategically starving themselves, but can involve obsessive...excessive...exercise. So someone will eat very little, and then exercise a lot to purposely burn way more calories than they take in, so the same is accomplished as if they had just not eaten anything.

Eating disorders are extremely dangerous....each kind has it's dangers like damaging your stomach and throat, and breaking down your teeth, from constantly throwing up/the stomach acids that come up with that. And starvation can be fatal, or if it is a girl and the percentage of body fat is too low, she could permanently lose her ability to have children some day, because the body knows it can barely support itself let alone a baby.

I hope this helps at all, maybe not though razz but eating disorders are such a tragic thing and I have had personal experience with them.

Holy crap. Eh, shows how much I didn't pay attention in biology. That's great info. I totally forgot about how the girl can loose the ability to have a child, or that you can damage your teeth. Oh, wow. I feel stupid.

Well then. That could be a reason why you didn't do well.

Both disorders have more to do with the mind and the person's self image rather than any physical trait.

There's also binging which is like fasting then overeating.
It's very bad for, like all eating disorders.
But since you have been fasting, it's like an overdose to your body.
Suddenly it has to digest all this food.
It actually makes you gain more weight.

Yeah. I was reading this article on yahoo saying that Bulimia doesn't always help because the you can get your throat can get messed up, and with Anorexia, you will actually gain weight and get hurt because you are starving.
