Bulimia is when someone purges food they’ve eaten. Sometimes they do this after a binge. Binge eaters eat massive amounts of food in one sitting, usually after they’ve starved themselves for a long period of time. Some binge eaters are bulimic. Anorexia is a mental disorder that makes people feel like they are too fat. You don’t have to be underweight to be anorexic, this is a common misconception. Anyone who starves themselves, restricts calories, or takes excessive laxatives for the purpose of weight loss is anorexic.
