Best Answer

Both anorexics and bulimics are cautious about how much they eat around other people and what kinds of foods they ingest. They do not like to eat around other people (secrecy is the name of the game). They both starve themselves for long periods of time (bulimics just make up for it by stuffing it all down later). They might appear bloated, but that is mostly bulimics due to water retention so I suppose it depends on how much the anorexic is vomiting.

Do bulimics get as tired as anorexics do?

Generally no because they do have a surge of sugar and therefore glucose and carbs, however in the long term they will, the difference being is that buliemics generally tend to be within their BMI or just over and therefore the fat stores that aneorexics do not have mean that buliemics will have slightly more energy. However both are as bad for the body as each other; bad for the heart, the teeth, the skin, they age the skin and complexion is duller and spottier and ofcourse can be fatal.
