Why do i want to throw up after i eat?

Can you have bulimia without trying or forcing yourself to vomit?
I believe so. Suffering from bulimia, as far as I understand, equals binging (eating more than what is considered normal in a short amount of time) and afterwards trying to one way or another purge what has been eaten. Purging can mean throwing up, but could also mean other methods of ridding the body of food. Exercising excessively to get rid of the calories consumed or abusing laxatives are a few other methods of purging which a bulimic might use instead of puking.

What describes the relationship between bulimia and dieting?
Bulimia nervosa is not dieting and in fact will only make a person sick (literally as well as figuratively). People purge their food through vomiting and laxatives because they think it will make them lose weight, but actually they might gain weight because in order to be considered bulimic a person must be taking in 20,000-40,000 calories in one sitting and purging them through different methods. If the person is just throwing up their dinner then I would say they are probably anorexic or depressed.

Why do people encourage eating disorder behaviour?
No one directly encourages anorexia nervosa or bulimia, however, when people frequently say: "you can't be too rich or too thin", when the media publicizes those people who have lost a great deal of weight. when very thin figure models are considered the ideal weight to be, then people might get the idea that being extremely thin is the way to be and this might lead to an eating disorder.
What are the health risks of bulimia?
