It's called bulimia (bull-EE-mee-ah)and it can be a very serious eating disorder leading to malnutrition, damage to your esohpagus and tooth enamel and death. At the core of most eating disorders is a body image issue. Counseling and a doctor's supervision is imperative to overcome the disorder. There's no shame in having it and you're far from alone. Talk to someone -- your parents, a friend, school counselor -- so that you stop burying the secret. There's help and there's a much happier way of life. Good luck. Answer: what its called depends on how much you purge, you said off and on for 2 years, are you purging once or twice a week or more? how long do these episodes last (days, weeks etc)? are you binging (eating large amounts of food in one sitting (1-2 hours 2000 cals or more)? or are you purging small amounts to normal sized meals?
This sounds more like ED-NOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified) than bulimia nervosa. But like they said above its extremely important you talk to a trusted ADULT to help you.
