On the past few weeks I have to induce vomit after I eat otherwise I feel weird. Also, I feel hungry but just the fact of eating makes me sick. I only feel like eating plain lettuce. In addition, I feel overweight, I am 5'8" 170 pounds. Size 12, Please help should I seek proffessional help, or is this normal.

That is not normal at all and you can not live off lettuce. Keep in mind that vomiting will lead to esophagus damage and can even corrode teeth. You should see someone about it certainly. Starving yourself only slows your metabolism, which ironically will make you lethargic and unable to burn enough calories.

dont throw up. purging is only serious if you get stomach and teeth problems. everyone at my school thinks i make myself throw up on purpose just because one day i ate something gross in home and careers and FELT like throwing up because my STOMACH was sick and not becasue i didnt want to gain WEIGHT. then after that they put me in a mental facility becasue they THOUGHT i was ******* bulimic, but no i ******* wasnt. i havent even actually thrown up since i was 5! so if your gunna tell someone, especially a therapist, there not gunna help you to stop, theyre gunna have no ******* clue what to do and theyll be so ******* lazy to help you they will just direct you to an eating disorder doctor. from there the ****** docor who doesnt know **** is gunna still have no clue how to handle your problems and simply put you in the inpatient where u stay overnight. and trust me, doctors, staff, nurses, they dont feel sorry for anyone, they just do there job and if that means force feeding you with a tube, then thats what there gunna do. they have absolutley no clue on how to help you stop throwing yourself up. why? becasue theyre ******* RETARDS. ive been to the hospital so many times, it was a living hell. So if you truly want REAL help, then talk to a parent, friend, or family[ someone who is not going to report you] and go from there. ONLY if this whole puging buisness becomes really dangerous, then thats when you start going to the inpatient.

Well...You ARE overweight (plz dont take this offensivly.) But, yes, since you think you're overweight, and you binge and purge, then yes, most likely you are bulimic.
It annoys me how ppl on yaho answers thinks that anyone who starves themselves or pukes up their food has an eating disorder. In order to have an eating disorder, you HAVE to think that you be thinking that you are fat!!

This behaviour is typically called bulimia. I watched my mother nearly die of it. Get help before its goes too far.
You are not terribly overweight for your height, if at all. Diet and exercise should help you tone up.
