Having thoughts of making yourself sick because you feel you have eaten too much probably denotes bulimia. These are not the thoughts of a person with a healthy attitude toward their weight. You are not alone in your thoughts and, if you are bulimic, you are not alone in your illness. However, the longer you continue to have this unhealthy attitude toward food and your body, the more long term damage you will most certainly do to yourself.
Making yourself sick as a "one off" will force your body to be unnaturally sick. This will cause undue pressure to your brain and heart. It can result in the short term in blood vessels around your eyes to burst, headaches and sore throat due to stomach acid. Making yourself sick as a "one off" will also result in many other consequences.
Making yourself sick more than a "one off" because you feel ill can in the longer term cause hair loss, tooth rot and gum disease, acne and even heart attack as well as irreparable damage of the oesophagus, stomach and kidneys amongst other consequences which include death.
Anything that is likely to cause health problems and death is not worth losing a few pounds over! It is vital that you seek help immediately. Talk to your doctor. Explain that you have these thoughts and they can recommend people to speak to. There are also confidential helplines that you can call simply by searching on the web.
Everyone has a little binge once in a while, eating far more than they should and feeling very full and bloated afterward. If you feel like this after eating, try and take your mind off it by going for a walk - the exercise combined with getting away from the lure of a bathroom will soon have you feeling differently about your body. The longer you think about making yourself sick, the more likely you will be to do it. The longer you can put off making yourself sick, the less likely you will be to do it on that occasion. First and foremost though, don't binge and stay away from opportunities where you may be inclined to do so. These are not the answers to the problem though, they are merely helpful hints to prevent you making yourself sick.
More than anything you need to address the issue that is the problem itself and seek help. Don't feel anbarrassed, don't feel ashamed. Talk to a family member you are close to and trust and/or speak to a doctor or helpline. It really isn't worth risking your life - you only have one!

People bring food as a gesture of caring because they know that when you are grieving and dealing with the funeral preparations, the last thing on your mind is the making and consumption of food.
