Bulimia is when you regurgitate all that you eat (throw it up) and anorexia is when yo simply do not eat or eat very little for a long period of time. They can both kill you but in different ways. Bulimia can tear apart your stomach and potentially cause internal bleeding and anorexia eats your body from the inside until you have nothing left.

anorexia is a loss of appetite. this can be normal in response to being ill. but anorexia nervosa is a serious mental condition whereby a person can virtually starve themselves to death. bulimia has the same aims as the person who is severely anorexic. it is a mechanism for keeping weight down which can result in severe malnutrition. in this case the person may binge eat then stick tyheir fingers down their throats to vomit up the stomach contents before they have had time to be digested.

Anorexia Nervosa is usually the more dangerous of the two, but both can be fatal. Anorexia is when a person intentionally starves themselves for weightloss, and Bulimia is when a person still eats but then gets the food out of their system (vomiting, laxatives, water pills, etc.). Both of these have been called diseases, its your opinion on what to call them. I would personally say that both are like having an uncontrollable addiction.

Are you kidding. Lol
anorexics are usually skinnier than builimcs because they don't eat at all
bulimics just don't digest. And they're skinnier than bulimics because they usually can't purge everything so they do end up getting SOME nutrients from teh food they'r eating but it usually gets stored into fat...

Anorexia is when you stop eating to lose weight. Bulimic people keep eating (sometimes eating a LOT) and then they provoque vomit or do something to get rid of everything they ate.
