Honey, yes it will. It hurts you all over.
It causes severe dehydration
Chronically inflamed and sore throat.
Salivary glands of jaw and neck become swollen, causing a "chipmonk" look.
Tooth enamel wares off, causing tooth decay.
Constant vomiting causes gastroesophageal reflux disorder.
Here are some sites I've found for you:

It's not a good idea, not a good diet plan. If you want to lose weight, eat healthy and have an active lifesyle! I went vegetarian, that helps. But not puking all day long (and bulemics puke all day, it's the focus of their day)

First of all its "Bulemic". And it very dangerous. First of all- the substances you need to take to 'vomit' such as "Ipecac" or laxatives can cause electrolyte abnormalities. Also you can get a severe gastric/ulcer from all the acid going up and down your esophagus. ( not to mention ruining the dentition on your teeth) Also the severe wt changes are also not good for your metabolism .
But most importantly its not good from a mental health standpoint- Bulemia its an 'illness".
If you are "Bulemic or you know someone that is - tell a parent, friend and get professional help.
Good luck

No it is an extremely bad thing. I've been dealing with a very close friend and her anorexia/bulimia for over a decade. It is a struggle to get her the help she needs and if we don't succeed it is very likely she will die. Eating disorders have the highest fatality rate of any mental illness.
If you need help, don't be afraid to ask the people around you.

Yes, it can erode your esophagus and eat away at your teeth. Not to mention, you are basically starving yourself, which affects many things in your body, including your heart. There is a reason there are clinics for eating disorders: THEY ARE UNHEALTHY.

Will kill you eventually. Lack of nutrients.
Not to mention the disorders one would get from the harsh chemicals of the stomach interacting with the tissue of one's esophogus.
