Q: Eating Disorder??

Hi,
i am new to this forum because I need your advice...
My life has been a rocky road and last year at age 30 I ended up going to a psychologist for dealing with issues that I have 'inherreted' from my childhood. It has been touch but I did start to feel better about my life, however not about myself. I have always been very insecure and even though I have never been 'fat', I have never liked my body much and have been watching what I eat for years. Lately that has changed, the last couple of months I have become more and more obsessed with loosing weight and trying to look better. It has gone to the point were other issues don't seem to matter, I am just busy with eating ( or trying not to eat) 24/7. I have lost a few pounds but am not there yet. My psychologist tells me I am on the border of becoming anorexic and need to stop before it is too late....But I can't, I can't start eating normal again...I feel like I need to loose at least 10 more pounds before I can even consider eating 3 times a day.....Help.....
Nicole

Eating Disorders??
Well, my first post was only a few days ago, wondering if I had an eating disorder....And now I feel like I am loosing control more and more. What is happening to me.
I had been craving chocolate all week so today I broke down and bought a chocolate bar. The first bite was great but by the time I took the second bite guilt started......For the next 30 minutes I felt awfull and wanted to cry. I looked in the mirror...Then went to the bathroom and thru up for the first time.......I couldn't help it. Now I feel even worse because I now know I am loosing control over this.....I don't want this but can't stop.
Help!
