No. Not if you stop there.

Doing it once indicates a problem. Continue doing it is a cry for help.

making yourself vomit is an extreme. Its not common- so I would examine why you do it, and address that instead of wrecking you stomach and teeth and endangering your health.

No, but it's really bad for you. "The strict medical definition used by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) requires 2 binge-eating episodes a week for at least 3 months to make the diagnosis, but it's likely that some people with symptoms of bulimia may not fit these exact criteria. A person with bulimia often feels a loss of control over their eating as well as guilt over their behavior. They are usually aware that their behavior is abnormal. Bulimia is most common in adolescent and young adult women. People with bulimia are often of normal or near-normal weight, which makes them different from people with anorexia (another eating disorder in which the person does not eat)."

No, but it is a step towards a serious problem and serious injury including internal scarring. Forcing yourself to vomit without an urgent need to like poisoning means you need some help.
