Purging become involuntary after a while. You have to train your body to stop the purging cycle you have created. Your body has adapted to doing this and thinks it has to.

Close your eyes and tell yourself that you are not going to throw up anymore. Take it slowly. Eat light meals to make sure your stomach absorbs the food properly. Don't put pressure on yourself. Eat when your hungry and not force yourself when your not. Drink plenty of water and juices.
