There was nothing wrong with her... I think I just made her so tense when I was too eager to have her finish her food. Now, she doesn't want to eat and vomits anything we feed her. Help... what shall we do?

i think some time's our children try to test there limit's and they want to see if they can get a reaction out of us I have 4 boy's and the last 2 were junk food junkie's I ask the Dr. what to do and he said to take all the junk away and let him go hungry and I could not do that i felt something was better than nothing and they eventually started eating good thing's.I never made it an issue and when they were ready they ate.So my suggestion is just let her eat on her own term's and don't make a big deal out of it she will stop when she is ready.

This is not an eating/food problem. it's a psychological problem - and you both (repeat both) need help.
Mother-daughter power struggles are quite common - some would say normal. But they can get out of hand and lead to terrible consequenses if not dealt with early.

i wouldnt force it, why fight with her about it, she will pay the consequence if you just let her go hungry, YOU will pay the consequence if you fight with her. tell her she has 20 minutes (or whatever time you feel is appropriate) to finish what is on her plate, if she doesnt eat it in that time that is all that she gets until the next meal is offered. so if its dinner time, no more food till breakfast, yeah she may have to go to bed hungry, but she will learn really fast. just stick to it, and she will change her ways i promise

make it fun for her to want to eat it and dont pester her to finish it jus let her eat all she wants and eventually she will realize that you are not goingto bother her anymore bout how much she is goingt o eat. also give her a reward or an incentive to eat llike take her to the movies when she eats it all with out throwing it up..

what you have to do is let her do this for only 2 weeks at the max, if she doesnt eat by then from hunger, take her to the doctor or she will die from starvation. but first i would take her to the doctor to make sure nothing is wrong.

Let her be.. Leave her hungry.. Dump all the snacks you can find in your home.. This will leave her with two choices:
Starve or crawl to you begging for food...
A normal human would instinctively choose the latter..

How do you know there is nothing wrong with her? Take her to the doctor. And just a little FYI, child abuse is wrong! God takes it personally when you hurt one of his little ones. This includes mental, physical, and emotional.
