nom, if you think it is the only thing you have control over, try joining more sports and put everthing negative in your mind in controlling yourself to do your best.

Oddly enough, bulimia and anorexia often come from deep feelings of loss of control. You may not be abe to control things at school or at home or with friends or with boys but you can control when you eat or don't eat or whether you throw it up.
Here's the thing though. Bulimia and anorexia aren't something over which people have control. Do you think people really feel like they have a say in whether or not they do it or does IT control THEM? Trust me, it might start off being about control but eventually it becomes a habit that's as hard to break as any drug addiction. This is why you have to stop it NOW.
First off, make a list of everything in your life that you are struggling with right now. Then tackle each one, one at a time, working out what you can do to improve it. WHY is it a problem? What would you need to do to fix it? What are the obstacles preventing you from fixing it? How can you get round them? So on and forth. Do this with each and when you're done, look at yourself in the mirror, give yourself a huge smile and say to your reflection "Today is where everything starts to go right for me." Say it like you really mean and BELIEVE that you mean it. Sure, you will feel silly to begin with but it will work over time.
If this habit is already out of control, you need to get some real help. I bet your parents don't know about it so the first thing to do is to tell them. They might come across as angry at first but they are the best people in a position to help you fight this. Tell them you need help. Trust them. It may not always seem like it but they would give up their own lives to make things okay for you and there is nothing they wouldn't do for you. They may try to help you themselves or they may get you help from a professional. Whatever they offer, take it. It will be hard and emotional and scary but it will be worth it in the long run. Bulimia kills people and it destroys lives. Don't let it destroy yours. You are stronger than that.

Why do you feel like you don't control anything else?
Of course you have control of things. You have control of your decisions and that's not the way to go.
Throwing up doesn't even help. You're controlling yourself from not throwing up, that's what you're doing.
So you'll rather control what hurts you?
Call a hotline.
