Anorexia and Bulimia are both Eating Disorders. 'Anorexia nervosa' is where the person starves themselves, and excercices excessively. 'Bulimia nervosa' is where some one 'binge eats' then intentionally does some thing to get rid of the food and stop weight gain, like vomiting, laxatives, and fasting.

Anerexia: A psychophysiological disorder usually occurring in young women that is characterized by an abnormal fear of becoming obese, a distorted self-image, a persistent unwillingness to eat, and severe weight loss. It is often accompanied by self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, malnutrition, amenorrhea, and other physiological changes.
Bulimia: An eating disorder, common especially among young women of normal or nearly normal weight, that is characterized by episodic binge eating and followed by feelings of guilt, depression, and self-condemnation. It is often associated with measures taken to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting, the use of laxatives, dieting, or fasting. Also called bulimarexia, bulimia nervosa. Excessive or insatiable appetite.
