Anorexia Nervosa is just restricting calorie intake to a crazy amount until you lose so much body weight.

Bulimia Nervosa is eating like a madman, then throwing it all up. Also known as binging and purging.

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.
