Given the data and the symptoms you reported (previous history of anorexic and bulimic eating habits, starving one week and binging the other, not having menstrual period for over a year, anemia, chronic fatigue, depression, ruined skin, dry hands, stretch-marks on thighs, weak bones), it seems likely that you might be experiencing an eating habits disorder.
The fact that you cannot stop thinking about food and its effect on your body might indicate that the thoughts about food and eating might have turned into obsessive ones.
You might want to visit a psychiatrist to search for any obsessive disorders that have leaded you to an eating disorder. It is a good sign that you recognize the condition and are ready to fight with it. A specific nutritional plan might be needed, but it might not be enough if there is an underlying psychological cause that needs to be solved first.
Given the fact that you change your eating patterns from starving to binging over two weeks, without additional problems originating from the gastrointestinal tract, you are probably ready for any diet. If your digestive system does not cause any problems when you are binging, then the digestion process is probably completely ok.
