Why can't I stop the wanting of throwing up my food?

Having issues regarding eating and food can be such a horrible situation to deal with, not only do we need to eat to survive, but food is also something that should bring comfort and color to ones life. There can be many reasons for wanting to throw up your food, maybe its pressure from people around you, or society, that you should look a certain way, and you have kept telling yourself that eating is therefore bad for you, as you then dont live up to these expectations. It can also be if you have had very traumatizing experiences during dinner or other eating scenarios, and everytime you eat you then experience a lot of anxiety because you or your body recalls these bad experiences, and therefore you throw up from anxiety. There can also be a lot of anxiety from the before mentioned pressure that one can place on oneself, and this can also cause you to throw up.

Bulimia is a highly complex issue, and the behavior is addictive, both physically and psychologically. It can begin with a desire to lose or maintain weight, but it often takes on a life of its own, spiraling out of control. Bulimia can also be associated with ridding oneself of sexual trauma—in a manner of speaking, making oneself “pure” again. In this light, it is easy to see how the behavior would become irresistible. It’s not just purging food: it’s extricating that “ yucky” feeling.

When you have an eating disorder whether it be bulimia, purging disorder, anorexia (b/p or r/p), or EDNOS, anything that makes you feel the need to throw up your food, that urge isn't your fault. No matter the diagnosis it is still dangerous, but your brain can't rationalize that. I recommend visiting nationaleatingdisorders.org or reaching out to someone on 7Cups who can help with eating disorders

well, when you purge more than once, it becomes a patturn, an adiction, and is hard to stop, i suggest finding a distrction

Bulimia Nervosa is usually considered not only a mental illness, but sometimes an addiction. Many times these actions give the person a feeling of reward and control, and these feelings can become addicting, making it easier and easier to go back to. It's important to break the cycle, reach out, and understand that you are not alone. Bulimia usually stems from a feeling of insecurity, poor self-image, and lack of control and say in one's life.

this is called purging, and it means you are struggling from some type of eating disorder. it is extremely hard, don’t worry, i understand, and there are so many listeners and therapists who are willing to help you here on 7 cups. my advice: take it slow and don’t put pressure on yourself, eat in small portions to let your stomach absorb the nutrients it needs, and drink lots of water. i know this method is commonly used for self harming, but it works. Everytime you feel the need to throw up, wait 5 minutes, count them, slowly, if after that you still feel like you want to throw up, wait another five minutes. focus on your breathing during this time. there’s a good chance the temptation will pass. there is always a listener on here to support you through this, don’t be afraid to ask for help❤️

It could be for many different reasons, the best to do would be to consult with a specialized Doctor, a nutritionist, a generalist, a therapist.

I think you may be thinking about it a lot even if you think your not it’s at the back of your mind. Overthinking doesn’t always help it could even cause anxiety

Having an eating disorder can blind you. Trust me, I know. It's hard, and it eats at you until you are almost gone. Some people can't help it, because they know it's dangerous, but at the same time, you want so desperately to have the body you want, and it's hard for you to lose weight the healthy way. It becomes a habit for you someday, and a lot of habits are hard to stop. There is never a really good answer to this question, but I do know that you want to be "healthy" and skinny and beautiful so bad, that you never realize that you were always beautiful. You just never saw ti.

You might have an eating disorder which you should definitely go and see a doctor about. Nothing to be ashamed of having, if you do have one. There are ways to help control or even get rid of it, and it's important you get it seen now than later where it can become too serious to stop. Your body and feeding it is very important and if you're constantly throwing the food you put into it back up, you'll become weak in your body and lack the important things you need to be healthy and have the ability to do the normal things in life. I wish you luck!
