It is both a disease and a psychological disorder. If a person has anorexia, it doesn't necessary mean that the person needs to be horribly skinny. the person could be overweight also but has eating disorders and bulimia is were you eat up to and sometimes over 10,000 calories at once and then throw up purposely. Sometimes, bulimic people take pills to throw up. This is life-threatening, so do not attempt it to lose weight.
