I was in the same boat, over a year ago now, and had serious bulimia. My parents were always really overprotective and worried about me a lot, but somehow never spotted the disorder. One day, when I was failing school, in a seriously bad binge pattern (i hadn't kept anything down for weeks), I sat them down and told them. And, to my complete surprise they were and still are amazingly helpful and supportive. They worried, sure, but they didn't suffocate me , didn't make me go to hospital but did take me for an appointment when I wanted it, helped me find a counsellor, and now trust me to look after myself completely. I know they'll remain supportive, despite the fact I'm not "cured" or perfect. Telling your parents is a hard thing to do, but try to have a little faith, they might just surprise you. Good luck!

Make them trust you. Don't lie to them. Also, the more they get to know you the more comfortable they'll be with you. Spend time with them and your girlfriend so they see that they don't need to be overprotective. But if you're a jerk, I hope they continue to be overprotective.
