While you do need to come to the realization of an eating disorder yourself, IMHO believe you are definitely headed down a slippery slope. Throwing up on purpose is not a "normal" behavior. Maybe you're only doing it once or twice a month now, but how much is "too much?" Is it too much when you're doing it once a week? Once a day? Once after every single meal?

I would encourage you to visit the websites Chris mentioned, and maybe consider seeking help from a professional.

Visit us often. We want to know how you are.

That is how I started, I thought I could control it but now it controls me. I thought I'd never be "stupid" enough to get hooked, but it's not about being stupid or smart, to me it's an addiction. Please see someone, before you get into the same state as me.

I'm not saying that I thought bulemics were stupid (especially as I am one), I just wanted to clarify that.
