Well- as far as i was taught... A person with bolemia is one to perge and eat alot of food then force themselves to throw it up.. so that you are correct. As for anorexia... to my knowledge, A person with anorexia does not eat at all in fear of gaining weight- which is the health hazard involved in the disease. I had a friends that was Anorexic about 3 years ago. she would eat nothing but spearmint gum, and this lasted about 6 months when she had to be rushed to the hospital.
