They are called anorexia and bulimia. People who want to try and develop these illnesses give them these silly pet names when in fact they are horrendous, life-threatening psychiatric disorders.
The best group for recovery is http://www.something-fishy.org/
I have never suffered from anorexia or bulimia, but I sympathize with your search for a recovery buddy. I don't believe I am the best person to be your "sponsor" per say, but I would be happy to be someone to help you keep accountable and be a sympathetic ear until you find someone else who has more experience with this and is able to commit to helping you long term.
If you want someone to email for a few weeks till you can find a more suitable, long term person who has experience in what you are dealing with, feel free to email me at ade0123@yahoo.com. I have experience in being a sympathetic ear and giving out basic advice.
Good luck, though, on finding your long term recovery buddy! This is a very brave thing you are doing, which is why I wanted to show my support :)
