Sick, no matter how: It is a form of purging, and doing this to yourself is sick. Along with how sick you become with food poisoning. By the way -- some food poisoning can kill you, not than just make you vomit or have diarrhea. Please get help from a psychologist and/or psychiatrist for this -- you are apparently willing to put yourself at risk to lose weight. More info: http://tinyurl.Com/ys9ss7.
