Just because you don't have anorexia or bulimia, you still have very disordered eating. I am unsure of the disgnostic criteria for binge eating disorder but unfortunately the way you describe how you feel about food kind of fits what the name implies. Just because you won't get dreadfully thin, and you won't damage your oesophagus by vomiting, there are still huge consequences to this and you really do need to get help.
You can use support sites of course but I really do think that a professional will be the best option!

Good luck!
