"Eating disorder" is very broad. Not eating much all day is called restriction, and people who live a lifestyle that is commanded by restriction have anorexia nervosa. Purposely vomiting or otherwise "getting rid" of food is called purging, and people who live a lifestyle that is commanded by binging (eating large portions of food in a short period of time) and purging have bulimia nervosa. It sounds like you definitely have a bad relationship with food and your body, and though I cannot diagnose you, I would highly recommend looking into treatment.
