What eating disorder do you have if you purposely throw up food about three times a week and obsess about your body?
Eating disorders most commonly fall into two major categories. The first is anorexia where a person limits the intake of food and calories to an unhealthy extreme. The second is bulimia, also known as the "binge-and-purge" eating disorder. A bulimic person eats food, sometimes large quantities (binging), and then "purges" their system to eliminate the calories. Purging is done by making oneself throw-up the food or by taking laxatives. Anyone who follows either of these practices or obsesses about their body should seek PROFFESSIONAL medical and/or psychiatric help. A good first step would include talking with a family member or a close friend.
It could be bulimia or an EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified), whatever is it it could turn into something more serious than it already is.

How to Treat Eating Disorders?
Eating disorders are conditions in which a person is so preoccupied with weight and food that they can focus on little else. There a three main types of eating disorders which are bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder and anorexia. Eating disorders can cause life threatening health and physical problems. The majority of eating disorder patients are females although males also have the illness. Treatments for eating disorders typically involve nutrition education, medications, counseling, hospitals and psychotherapy. Nutrition Education If you are overweight due to an eating disorder, the best place to start on the road to health is to get back to a healthy weight. Dieticians and health care providers can help design a healthy diet and eating plan to help achieve a healthy weight no matter what your weight. Medically supervised weight-loss programs are beneficial for those that have binge-eating disorder. Medications Although medications can’t cure an eating disorder, but medications can help you control binges, purges and preoccupations with diet and food. Anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications can help with symptoms of anxiety or depression that are frequently associated with eating disorders. Psychotherapy Individual therapy can help a person learn to switch unhealthy eating habits for healthy ones. Monitoring eating and your moods as well as developing problem-solving skills are learned through psychotherapy. It can also improve your mood and relationships with those around you. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most commonly used for eating disorders. There is also group therapy that is available for some people. Hospitalization For the more serious cases of eating disorders, such as anorexia or refusing to eat, hospitalization may be required. Medical and psychiatric wards are the most common facilities for those that have eating disorders. When hospitalized with an eating disorder, you will be closely monitored. There are some clinics that specialize in eating disorders and offer out-patient treatment and day programs. Programs specializing in eating disorders offer more extensive treatment over long periods of time.
