You are showing early signs of developing an eating disorder. You should go to the doctor or seek counseling as soon as possible so you do not end up with a full-blown eating disorder. You could run in to problems especially since you are athletic.

I too have suffered from an eating dosorder. I am recently recovered and can give real life examples. I can share what helped me in my recovery and guide you in the right direction so that you too may recover.
