Anorexia and Bulemia are eating dissorders, Anorexia is resstricting your food intake aka. starvation. it leads to extreme weight loss, poor growth, poor circulation and loss of bone mass. Bulimia is where you make yourself vomit after eating and leads to large weight fluctations and an increased risk of problems with the heart....
Basicley, If you are anorexic or bulemic then in the end you just look like a walking skeleton, your cheeks hollow and your skin goes grey. once your body realises that you are not giving it food, it begins to use stored fat for energy, and then it uses up your muscles until you have none.
I tried being anorexic, to lose weight. after I ended up in hospital and was forced to eat again, after just 1 week of eating normally, i actually weighed more than I did before. everyone told me that whilst I was anorexic, i looked like hell.... not a good idea
Anorexia and bulimia are very serious eating disorders. People who are anorexic or bulimic can lose as much or as little weight possible. Some people can be 10 pounds underweight, some can be 40 pounds underweight. If you know someone who is anorexic or bulimic tell them that you are worried about them and strongly encourage them to get professional help.

Who becomes bulimic? Ha. Bulimia is an illness and it comes to people without reason. I'm bulimic and 'anorexic' I don't aggree with the doctor on anorexic as I'm fat, hence why I purge after I eat. It's a horrible illness
A therapist and doctor who specialize in eating disorders is the best way to get help for an anorexic or bulimic person. Your local telephone directory can help you to find treatment centers.
They can be bulimic but not anorexic. Actually, a person can certainly be mentally anorexic regardless of their weight. I believe that weight or BMI should not be so important when diagnosing anorexia. Anyone can be psychologically anorexic.
Consistently burn more calories than you use everyday through a lifestyle with regular excercise and a good diet.
For a proper name some call it 'anorexia binge-purge subtype'.

Bulimia will not help you lose weight.Only healthy eating and exercise will do that.You can lose weight being Bulimic but it will happen much slower then an anorexic. Also most of what you lose is water weight not actual weight. It depends on what kind of bulimic you are as well.
