Can forcing yourself to poop make you a bulimic?

Not by itself: Motivation is important for the diagnosis. But you can still be doing serious harm to your body even if you are not purging to make up for binge eating. If this is more than a very rare thing, see a doctor and/or a eating disorder psychotherapist to avoid bad consequences for your body and overall health.
