Q. Hi,
I am doing a research paper on eating disorders, and in my research, I have found that there are two sub types of anorexia- restricting and the binging and purging type. To me, the binging purging anorexia sounds very much like bulimia. If you could tell me the distinguishing characteristics between the binging purging type of anorexia and bulimia, that would really help with the report. THANKS!!!!

A. the only difference seems to be the 'uncontrollable urge' to binge associated with bulimia and the severe restriction of food in anorexia
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors. The most common formâpracticed by more than 75% of people with bulimia nervosaâis self-induced vomiting, sometimes called purging; fasting, the use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics, and over exercising are also common.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulimia_nervosa
Anorexia nervosa
Body weight is maintained at least 15 per cent below that expected for a person's height.
It is self-induced weight loss caused by avoiding fattening foods and may involve taking excessive exercise, using laxatives or diuretics or self-induced vomiting.
There is a strong, almost overwhelming fear of putting on weight, with sufferers preoccupied with the shape or size of their bodies.
Rules are invented regarding how much food is allowed and how much exercise is needed after eating certain amounts of food.

Is there anywhere online that I can read novels about eating disorders?
Q. Is there anywhere that I can read stories about eating disorders. Maybe some long ones. I don't want like informational, medical book stories. I want like something I can get into, that has a plot and what not.
Or maybe a place that I can read new novels online for free.
Anything like that would be swell thanks

A. here are some online sources for ebooks:
Project Gutenberg:

there is also Bibliomania:
http://www.bibliomania.com/bibliomania-s...
and The Online Books Page:
http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/ (this gives you a list of sites where the title you want is available)
