See your doctor : See a therapist who has experience treating eating disorders. Also, fluoxetine is an antidepressant medication that may help reduce binge behaviors. Talk to your doctor about your options. By the way, what you describe is actually called purging when you engage in self-induced vomiting. This can destroy the enamel on your teeth.

Many Strategies: Your binge eating disorder is worsened by becoming bulimic. Binge-eating is caused by a variety of factors. But vomiting to control the binge behavior can itself become a compulsion! Have yourself evaluated ASAP by a therapist who specializes in eating disorders. Binge eating is a common problem, but one that requires dedication on your part to overcome. Working with a therapist makes it easier.
