you might not be addicted to it yet but it does sound like you have a problem with food and your diet 2 years is a long time and the behaviours associated with eating disorders can be very addictive
you've said yourself you are struggling to get the thoughts of throwing up food out of your head problems with food can be very difficult to overcome and if you have been making yourself sick a lot you will probably be suffering from side effects by now do you really want to still have these issues a year from now ?
if you get help this can e overcome if you don't want to go to a doctors you could look at the beat website it is a website about eating disorders but is really good and would be able to give you some support you should really make an appointment with your doctor though anything you said would be confidential and you wouldn't be judged
good luck and hope i helped
if this has been going on for two years i hate to tell you this but you are ADDICTED. you need medical help. talk to your regular doctor about it and be completely open and honest with him/her about it and tell him/her how long it has been going on. you may need to seek help with a psychiatrist and/or a psychologist for talk therapy. i go to both and they have been a big help to me.
You have a eating disorder...
You to get help, talk to your doctor.
Just to tell you, I am underweight very thin and slim, I NEVER thought I was beautiful I just cant gain weight. neither am I pure xD I am far from pure lol
I hope you get help soon, it sounds pretty serious.

Hi,
What you are describing is anorexia/bulimia symptoms. The bulimic side eats and then purges and the anorexic side believes always that they are fat, no matter how underweight they are. This disorder has really grown amongst young females in the last decade or two. It is a mental disorder. You can't change it without seeking professional help from your Doctor. If you want to stay healthy and live, you will call your Doctor and make an appointment. Today. Read below and then go to this website for more information. You will need information to help you get help and survive...

Anorexia is one of three eating disorders and is classified as a serious medical condition affecting about 1% of the female population. That may sound like a small number but it averages out to be 1 out of every 100 young women! Anorexia rarely claims victims before puberty or after the age of 40. It is the third most chronic illness in young adults between the age of ten and twenty who are literally starving themselves, sometimes to death.
Let’s take a look at some of the National Statistics for Anorexia:
?50% of girls between the ages of 13 and 15 believe they are overweight
?40-60% of high school girls diet
?30-40% of junior high girls are concerned about their weight
?80% of 13 year old girls have dieted
?40% of 9-year-old girls have dieted
?85% of patients develop this disorder between the ages of 13 and 18
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness and because of this fact some call anorexia a slow suicide. Only 1 in 10 people with an eating disorder will receive treatment and out of this number 80% do not receive treatment at the intensity they need to recover. The death rate associated with anorexia is 12 times higher than the death rate of all causes of death for females 15 –24 years old.
?20% of people suffering from anorexia will prematurely die from complications related to their eating disorder, including suicide.
?5 – 10% of anorexics die within 10 years after contracting the disease
?18-20% of anorexics will be dead after 20 years
?30 – 40% ever fully recover – that’s less than half!
Please get help. If you won't do it for you, do it for me?

If you are this obsessed with throwing up, you feel this guilt from eating, I would say you are bulimic. You either need to find a professional to help, or find a hobby to keep you from this obsessive weighing(and measuring). If you were ugly you would not have a boyfriend. This feeling of being imperfect, and gaining something when you throw up is just a way of helping your self-esteem.
Find something to do to occupy you, or find a therapist so you can solve the problem.
You need help if you constantly think about this. If you tell your boyfriend, he should be behind you 100% as long as you are not harming yourself by throwing up.
I have friends with many problems. I try to help them as much as possible, but even I don't match a therapy session.
