I think the problem is with me trying to diet. My GP said I was 4 pounds overweight (not sure what chart she used, but BMI says I'm not overweight). I can't seem to diet without either restricting calories to less than 1000 or over-eating and throwing up.
When I don't diet I'm absolutely fine. I can maintain my weight without effort and I'm not obsessed with food. The problem is that my natural set point for weight is higher than what I would like it to be.
When I start thinking that I must lose weight I end up trying to find short cuts to weight loss. I get really desperate.
I don't think I really have an eating disorder yet. I have OK eating habits despite the occasional junk food and throwing up. Throwing up is not pleasurable to me at all, it's punishment to me. I don't like doing it but sometimes I force myself to do it because I feel guilty about eating junk food.
It's OK to not reply to me Racer, I'm mostly talking to myself.
