There can be several reasons as to why you can't stop wanting to throw up the food you have eaten. In some cases anxiety causes you to not be able to keep the food in, and these people eat something light to not throw it up. Another reason as to why you throw up your food can be an eating disorder. Though I am not one to diagnose anyone, eating disorders do have the affect for a person to not want to eat, or if they eat, eat only a little. People with eating disorders also tend to throw up food if they have eaten too much. But again, I am not here to diagnose anyone.

There could be many reasons that you want to throw up your food. Maybe it is society, feeling you are lacking control in your life, or self loathing. The important thing to analyze is how do you feel when you are throwing up your food? If you feel good or bad, try to figure out why. It may be helpful to speak to a professional too if this something you want to continue to do. If it is one type of food, then you can avoid it but if it is all foods then that is dangerous since our bodies do need the nutrients in order to survive.

This is a very hard and addictive habit. I can't answer, why you want to, but for many people it is because by doing so they hope to achieve a certain weight or body image. If this is the case, you have to ask yourself why it matters so much that you are a certain size. Why is it so important what the scale says? Why does your body have to be thinner? What do you hope to gain by doing this? Is it worth it to undernourish your body just to look a certain way? I have found that for me, being healthy is so much more amazing then being thin, but that is me.
This is just my opinion but I hope it helps!💖

The feeling of wanting to throw up your food is really tough. I am sorry that you are experiencing that. Sometimes eating and body image is really hard for people and thats okay. Your emotions and feelings towards eating are valid. Maybe ask yourself some questions. such as "Why am I doing this" "is this benefiting me?" It can be really good to pinpoint what making you do this action. Its a terrible feeling and I understand you want answers. I hope you get them soon. Keep your head up

i know this is a hard and tough journey having an eating disorder. but it's up to person's will to want to get well. your concerns about the will of throwing up your food ensure that you know it's bad. you understand it's bad and you want to change it. it will for sure be hard. but the thoughts and attitude and will towards the wellbeing. just remember that you live and your body requires energy and that energy comes from the food. body is allowing you to live, to experience. take care of it. i know looks are very important, many of us are very concerned about body image / shape. but first comes the health. i'm wishing you so much good luck and i am sure you will fall in love with your body soon :)

Looking into how this started in the first place, is it something you think about regularly, how often and are there specific triggers that cause the desire and have you followed through with the actual purging of your food. These are all questions to explore and being honest with yourself answering them could lead to a better understanding as to why you feel the need to purge. As well, how badly do you want to stop this behavior? Are you feeling negative feelings or affects in your thoughts and life because of the desire? Finding the reasons that this doesn’t work in your life, and determining where you fall with your desire to change can help initiate that start of changing your thoughts and hopefully leading to a positive change in outlook and behavior
