In order to be anorexic, a person by definition must be underweight!. SO NO ONE WHO IS NORMAL WEIGHT OR ABOVE IS EVER ANOREXIC!. They may be fasting, but they are not anorexic!. Anorexics die from malnutrition or starvation!. Google those to see what that means!. Usually it is a heart attack that kills underweight people, often cause the body tries to digest the heart, but bad signaling is also a cause, as is some other reasons!. But usually it ends in heart failure from something or other!.
A bulimic is someone who makes themselves puke for either 1) 2x a week for 3 months, or 2) 3x a week for 6 weeks!. The 1) definition is from the American Physchiatrist group, the 2nd is from national health organization I believe!.
The average bulimic is overweight!. Bulimia causes the same problems as anorexia in an underweight person!. Bulimics purge in one of three ways - vomiting, laxatives, and exercise, although many thing the exercise one is really BS!. All bulimics can get dehydrated from their purges, and must drink water after purging to prevent potentially lethal dehydration!.
In all vomiting bulimics purging can cause potassium deficiencies, digestion of the teeth, esphogus problems, and stomach ulcers!. The potassium problems can be solved with potassium supplements, but too much makes one drop dead of a heart attack without any warning!. Too little slowly kills you, but there are noticeable symptoms along the way!. You can google them!. Staying hydrated helps with maintaining the correct ion levels (mostly potassium is a concern, but also Na, Cl, and calcium)!. The teeth problems can be prevented by rinsing with baking soda / water!. The stomach ulcers can be prevented with prilosec (or any antacid)!.
The only food to be absorbed by the stomach is alcohol, so vomiting DOES WORK to lose weight!. They must vomit the food before it gets into the small intestine!. There is no noticeable increase in mortality factors for bulimics!. Depression is one statistically relavent negative effect of being bulimic!. (There is a 2007 paper on Pubmed that reviews all literature on bulimia and determines this - check pubmed to find it)!.
Bulimics who purge by laxatives have a hard time losing anything but water weight from it since it is hard to time when the food is in the small intestine when the laxatives take 8 hours to work themselves!. They tend to lose water, which results in dehydration!. Overdosing on laxatives is often dangerous and always painful and addictive!. Over using laxatives makes the body digest itself, which puts poo in the blood and blood in the poo!. Under using does nothing if not constipated!. Over using laxatives will make you go to the hospital for shear pain!. And likely you won't lose any real weight from it anyway, cause the food is already through the small intestine where absorption takes place by the time the laxative works!. Using laxatives when you don't need them will force you to need tons of them just to have a normal bowel movement which everyone else can do already!.In case this isn't clear It is just Real Friggin Stupid!.
I think if someone who isn't underweight can be an exercise bulimic and stay hydrated go for it! I mean seriously, you exercise too much!. waaaaa!. Unless you are underweight I think people have bigger issues!.
I think you should also discuss BED!. This is binge eating disorder and it is basically a bulimic who doesn't purge!. Binge eaters consume too much food at once, just like most bulimics do!. They just don't use any method of purging it!. This makes them gain weight of course, so their ED is very obvious to the naked eye!. But don't think those Super Morbidly Obese people do not have an ED!. They do! And need help as much as the others!.
Anorexia or underweight bulimics are the most at risk!. The number one cause of death from ED's is starving to death!. Or in the case of something like BED, death by being too fat!. There are other problems with ED's, such as the acid reflux in bulimia, but its the weight issues that are the killer!.

Symptoms people would notice-not eating or going to the bathroom right after eating, no weight gain or losing a lot of weight, no meat on your bones-you can basically see your bones, teeth might be disgusting from vomiting, little or no energy, skinny people constantly saying they're fat, excuses not to eat-example-"im busy"!.!.Hope this helps a little!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I was bulimic for years, and still struggle with it if you want some personal prespective let me know!. But I can tell you how to keep it a secret and allow no one to notice!. That's how I went so long without people knowing!. I'm 28 and have been bulimic since I was 15!.
