Which is faster bulimia or anorexia?
NOTE: I do NOT promote eating disorders, they are a terrible mental disorder and should never be glamorized!!! ---------- Anorexia shows itself more rapidly than bulimia does. This is because anorexia is characterized by self-starvation (eating little to nothing per day) while bulimics binge on a large quantity of food and then purge (induce vomiting) Studies have shown that bulimics generally maintain a normal body weight if not even gaining weight because it is impossible to purge everything up that you have binged on, leaving the excess calories to be digested and absorbed by the body.

That one is called anorexia nervosa. Bulimia involves the use of vomiting and/or laxatives to purge the food, though it is possible to be both anorexic and bulimic. Note that most bulimics appear to have normal weights, as they do not usually restrict the food to the extent that anorexics will.

What is the difference between pro-mia and pro-ana?
Hi there! The prefix "pro" means you are in favor of something (in this case, either "mia" or "ana"). "Mia" is short for bulimia, and "ana" is short for anorexia. Both bulimia and anorexia are serious eating disorders- Generally, bulimia is characterized with extreme over-eating (binge) and then purge via laxatives or vomitting. Anorexia on the other hand is characterized with extreme under-eating and the thought that they are fat when actually, are emaciated. Basically, the difference between pro-mia and pro-ana is that someone who is pro-mia is a supporter of bulimia and the latter is a supporter of anorexia.
What kind of eating disorder is it when you starve yourself?
Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder in which the person becomes increasingly underweight by self-starvation or extreme cutting-down of food intake.

Both of these are very serious diseases and are more so mental issues than physical. In other words, mental-issues are the cause and physical-issues are the effect.
