What is it called when you make yourself throw up?

It means that they eat excessively and then try to prevent weight gain by some form of purging. This usually involves making themselves throw up, or taking laxatives, or obsessive exercise.
What do you do if you make yourself throw up?
Anorexia or Bulimia
How many times do you have to binge and purge before being bulimic?
at least 3 times a week for at least 2 months Well, actually, according to the current diagnostic criteria (DSM IV) you need to binge and purge at least twice a week for a period of 3 months or more before you can be officially diagnosed with bulimia. Of course, there are 2 subtypes of bulimia - purging and non purging. So not all bulimics actually throw up and/or abuse laxatives. You can also be bulimic if you use other excessive weight loss "strategies" after binging - like fasting, severe restriction of your food intake and exercise. It has been suggested, in the proposed DSM V, that the criteria for bulimia should be purging once a week for 3 months or more - but this has not been confirmed/accepted yet.
Is a person bulimic if they do not throw up a healthy lunch but they do throw up when they eat a fattening meal or snack?
If you throw up whatever you eat or exercise vigorously right after you eat, you may have a binge eating disorder, or bulimia. The characteristic activity is not just the "purging", or fasting, that follows, but also the excessive eating in the first place. There are psychological conditions that cause bulimia and often the sufferers cannot simply choose to stop. Because of the health risks, it is important to get professional medical advice in cases of eating disorders. and it is something gross who would want to know about that :(

Bulimia is characterized by eating large amounts of food (known as bingeing) and then throwing it up forcefully or using laxatives ot quickly remove the foods from the body (known as purging).
What is bullimia?
Bulimia is an Eating Disorder that deals with excessive weight loss through self-starvation and sometimes through purging (vomiting, laxative usage), excessive exercising, refusal to maintain normal weight, intense fear of weight gain, obsessive preoccupation with weight and shape, loss of menstrual periods, distorted body image and so on. Bulimia Nervosa specifically is characterized by cycles of binge eating followed by purging, usually done in secret, weight ranges from below to above average (may be difficult to detect), feeling out of control of food intake, purging after bingeing via self-induced vomiting, laxatives, diet pills, diuretics, excessive exercise, or starvation, obsessive preoccupation with weight and shape. Bulimics are deceptively so and usually extremely close to normal weight, but their weight may go up and down, fluctuating dramatically.
Is it normal to throw up bright red blood?
You probably don't want to hear this but definitely not.
When a person is bulimic how often do they throw up and do they ever eat and not throw up?
Not all bulimics throw up. Bulimia is binging & purging. Purging can be throwing up, but it can be also through laxatives, over exercising, or fasting. A bulimic has to be a binge eater, a binge is eating a ton of food in a short amount of time. Such as 3,000 calories in a half hour. The bulimic has no control over this. Bulimia is not just throwing up!!
