You must mean that she vomits voluntarily since she has been doing this for so long. This is called bulimia, and it is very serious, and will effect her health even more than it already has...That is what you need to do...telll her how serious it is, and enlist the help of your family doctor to make sure that message is reenforced...then she has to see an eating disorder specialist.
