Honestly, it depends on the extent. Bolemia is a mental disorder where someone loooks at every piece of flesh they have and convinces themselves its fat they need to loose, so they do in fact purge themselves and it becomes an addiction.
Sometimes, however, purging yourself of food can be necissary if you find out maybe the food was bad. Or perhaps you feel like after eating you will be sick, but sometimes the feeling never passes. Then one might purge themselves for relief.
So it really depends on how often and the reasons why.
