Bulimia nervosa is a mental illness which consists of binging and purging; but the thoughts behind the illness variate. Some people can not starve for certain reasons and result in eating and purging. This is actually anorexia purge sub type. Some people starve then binge and purge, this is called anorexia binge-purge sub type. Some people keep binging and purging, that is bulimia. Sometimes it is to loose weight, but it is often the way that a victim of bulimia will stuff down all their emotions and then purge them up to "get rid" of them. It can also be the case that a person expresses themselves through binging but fears weight gain and purges. But abuse brings many dark emotions as it is an in-humane activity that is not in our nature. Each person has a safety mechanism that they result to in dire need, and for some it is the binging. For others the purging can become an addiction. To conclude, it really depends on the individual but if you feel that may be you then get help.
