Stop yes but all foods can be fattening. Eat a little less just enough to fill you up. And exercise a more, however don't over work yourself that is also considered being bulimic. Look up how bulimia can hurt you to help enforce you to stop. It can do more then you think. Talk to people who have gotten over bulimia and go to support groups they can be very helpful and help self esteem.

you need to stop this NOW! you can damage your esophagus and teeth. the acid can cause them to age, and your teeth will decay and become prone to cavities, or fall out worse case scenario. also the most important reason you should stop throwing up is b/c u could choke to death on ur on throw up. it happened to my mom's best friend. verryy sad.

yes all the advices here are very true, i myself recently stopped throwing up... to be honest it is not worth it... after you stop you may feel like "omg, why did i stop" and you start to feel guilty for stopping. But what cons outweighs the pros. It hurts more than helps. Its like you are trying to lose weight in a very UNHEALTHY way!
