I didn't say you had a severe eating problem I said you had a severe IMAGE problem. And for the record, eating problems aren't all starving and purging. Some people are so obssessed with food and/or so afraid of getting fat that they obssessively chronicle what they eat. They also can have image problems where they see themselves (and others) as being bigger than they really are. These behaviors are not only unhealthy in their own right, but over time they can lead to the more well-known eating disorders of anorexia and bulimia. You seem to be obssessed with being fat and judging from your pictures I don't believe you're anywhere near as fat as you think you are. In fact, I think you're probably pretty close to normal weight for your height. However, I know you'll disagree with me and that's part of the reason why I think you need to find a good Psychiatrist and do some intensive therapy work.
ETA: Here are 2 national hotlines that deal with eating disorders. If you're hesitant to see a Psychiatrist at least give one of these a call please!
