What is purging?

Bulimia?: Purging is usually associated with an eating disorder called bulimia. Purging means making yourself vomit usually by sticking your finger into the back of your throat. Someone with bulimia binges on food then purges to get rid of it. There are all kinds of problems associated with this and someone who is doing this needs to see a psychiatrist
