is self induced vomiting involuntary when you are bulimic?

Question

i was just wondering because im doing a detailed research on this, so just to get myself a foot ahead..
Do bulimics, if they have thrown up a lot, i mean like maybe like twice a day daily, would they be so used to throwing up that it will become involuntary? and if they want to stop they cant??
or am i getting the wrong idea?
thank you

Answer 1

I think its voluntary. If it was involuntary that means you are physically sick.

Answer 2

No - otherwise, they would be getting sick right there at the table, rather than in the bathroom afterwards ;););)
