No, you are describing bulimia, which in Latin means "ox-like hunger." Classic bulimic behavior involves eating huge amounts of food ("binging"), and then purging it, by one or more of the following methods: self-induced vomiting, laxatives, excessive exercising.
Anorexia (which means "lack of appetite") is characterized by self-starvation. However, it is quite common for people with eating disorders to have both anorexic and bulimic symptoms. For example, someone might start out strictly anorexic, and then become totally bulimic, and then settle into a sort of limbo between the two.
Binging, without purging afterwards, is known as "compulsive overeating."
