Bulimia is a mental disorder related to food.The person who has it eats a lot of food in a short time. Then, she thinks she is fat and feels guilty. The person induces vomit and expels the food that she has ingested.
Anorexia is a similar illness, but it consists in not eating anything.These people think that their weight is very high.
These two illnesses can end up in death but many times they have cure becouse now, there are specialized clinics.

If you notice in the original blog, jenny describes bulimia from a females perspective using "she". In actuality guys are able to have either anorexia or bulimia. Just because it may be uncommon does not meant that it does not exist. Either way they are both dangerous disorders to encounter. If you know of anyone, or you yourself, that suffers from either one of these it is important that you/they get help. I work for A&E and we have a t.v. show entitled A&E Intervention that discusses all types of issues including eating disorders. The people that come on the show are victims of the issues being discussed and share with the world how it affects their lives and the people in it. It touches on serious realistic issues and can get pretty personal, jus check it out and see for youself. New episodes are shown every Monday at 9PM/8C on A&E. Also, clips and interesting scenes can be viewed on http://www.aetv.com/intervention.
