People force themselves to throw up because they feel guilty and are anxious about putting on weight from all the binging. It's a compulsary response.
It's called purging and it's a psychological response to the binging.
It's seriously unhealthy, it can damage your insides and your teeth from the acid erosion from your stomach.
Bulimic's do it 2 or more times a week which is not good for their bodies/health.
I'm sure there's lots of information sites on the internet if you wanted to know more about the eating disorder.

It's hard, but if you're sick (as in, if you have an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia), it's easier because you see it as a way to improve yourself. I've been there and done that -- and I hope you're not trying to go that route.

When a person has an eating disorder its usually because they hear something and they see themselves fat and not good enough so they think that if they throw up the things that they eat they will appear to be heathy and happy and no one will notice but truth is that i is a very pianful way to slowly kill your self and if they don't stop they will die.

I tried being bulimic once! never will i ever try it again. I threw out my food once and thats all it took me to realize it was nasttyy! like I cant comprehend how i made myself do it even once. I just stuck the toothbrush down far enough and i gues that was it. Its really gross and soo unhealthy. you wouldnt believe what can happen to your body because of bulimia.Some people just can eat food, and than stick there finger/toothbrush down far enough to make themselves throw up. After a while of that your gag reflixes automatically like instinticvely make you throw up. ( if thats the right word). sorry i just babbled on. I wasnt even sure how to answer this

They normally stick like their hand or a toothbrush into their throat, untill they gag. They continue this until they gag enough to puke. It's wicked disgusting, dont do it. It's not worth it. And you could get seriously sick.

Do you mean mentally or physically? Physically it would be wrong to tell you that because forcing yourself to throw up is completely unhealthy. Mentally it will only truly make sense to people with an eating disorder. For example, the way you feel about throwing up even when you are sick, how gross & disgusting it is, bulimia patients feel the same way not throwing up. They feel disgusted & grossed out leaving the food in them & gaining weight. That is the closest interpretation you would be able to understand. They are completely bothered by leaving food & fats in them, but they know they have to eat to stay healthy & alive. I guess its just one of those diseases where you only understand if you are going through it yourself. If you want to learn more about bulimia, try googling it.

-hope that helped!♥
