Anorexia and bulimia nervosa are two of the most common and widely recognized eating disorders. Anorexia is characterized by severe restirctions of food and calorie intake coupled with excessive exercise in an attempt to lose an unhealthy amount of weight. Bulimia is characterized by periods of binges (eating large amounts of food in a relatively short amount of time, often unhealthy or "junk" foods) followed by periods of purges (forceful vomiting, laxative abuse, fasting, or exercising) in an attempt to rid the body of food so as not to gain weight.
