   Anorexia is not eating at all or eating tooooooo little. Bulimia is binging-purging either by throwing up or by exercising too much. Both are not advisable and are harmful to one’s health.

   Both anorexia and bulimia are mental health problems (the physical symptoms are a result not the cause) and are related to other forms of self harm. For most people who become anorexic it sort of creeps up on you over time, often related to low self esteem and a mistaken belief that if you lose weight you’ll look better and become more popular. Unfortunately, losing weight this way tends to lead to very poor body tone (and you don’t have the energy to exercise even if you wanted to) which is the opposite of the effect sufferers are after. But rather than realize that what they’ve been doing is counter productive, the poor body tone makes sufferers redouble their efforts. It’s not uncommon for sufferers to get more extreme as they lose more weight – more lost weight, worse body tone, answer lose more weight (not)!

   Anorexics lose more weight because they take in little to no calories but bulimics binge/purge. They throw up the food they eat and the reason they dont lose as much weight is because you can never know if all the food eaten is gone and also some of the calories from the food they eat is absorbed. With anorexics hardly no food is eaten therefore no calories are absorbed making it easier to lose weight.

   People with anorexia only eat about 200 calories a day. This doesn’t give their bodies enough vitamins, protein, etc. Their bodies are technically eating their own fat. Then their muscles get eaten as well. If your far enough into anorexia, your body will start to even eat your organs. This is a mental disorder, and will lead to death if not stopped. You can’t become anorexic, its a disease. When dealing with bulimics your are often exercising to much causing you to lose weight just as anorexia does. Except with bulimia you can also gain muscle. Plus, when your anorexic your body is rapidly decomposing. Much faster then exercising can do. When dealing with both of these, relapses are very common. If you need more info on anorexia there is a story of a girl who died from anorexia. It includes a lot of details on the side effects of anorexia as well. Remember that these diseases cannot be stopped unless treated and you cannot decide to just become any of these. They are triggered by maybe hard events going on or just thinking your fat when your really not.
