As much as people tend to put Bulemia and Anorexia in the same category, they're actually pretty different. 

What you're describing is Bulemia, which is basically a love/hate relationship with food. You're unhappy because you feel that you're overweight, but you still like eating the food. Afterwards, you probably feel guilty about it, so you decide to purge to "undo" the eating you've done. To treat bulemia, you generally see a doctor and a counselor. The doctor will treat the damage you've done to your body with your frequent purging. The counselor will help you to change how you view yourself, and teach you how to view food in a healthy way.

 

Telling people is a great step, and I think the next step is seeking treatment.
