Anorexia results in a huge weight loss and is usually found to be affecting girls from high-achieving families (out of a pool of girls that have eating disorders). Bulimia is similar to anorexia in the sense that one thinks he/she is overweight, and starves. However, bulimics tend to starve for a while then go on an eating binge only to puke it out or use laxatives. Bulimics usually are at a "healthy" weight or slightly overweight, although their eating habits are completely unhealthy.
