Question
ive been throwing up for the obvious reason of ;losing wieght, and i did, but now i dont want to throw up anymore but no matter what i eat or how much i eat, i constantly feel sick, to a point where thats all im thinking about, and throwing it up again is the only thing that makes it go away. but im so disgusted, i want to stop. any suggestions?

Answer
Once you get into a pattern of binging and vomiting it's an addiction just like eating and sometimes you can cause your body to reject food in a way it's like re-programming yourself to do this. I would seek out some treatment medically to stop this behavior. www.something-fishy.org is a website for those who are looking for help with eating disorders.
