Re: is this an eating disorder? :/ -

Hey there,
Weight figures are not the only way to diagnose an eating disorder, and it's true that you don't have to be underweight, or can be of an average weight to have an ED, or to begin to develop one. You're taking the right steps by reaching out and acknowledging that you have a problem, and believe me, no-one is going to think it's too small a problem. If anything, you're looking out for yourself by getting help now, before it gets worse. Looking after yourself is always a good thing.
As it's been said, we can't diagnose you. Only a doctor can do that. What we can say is that you should probably talk to someone you trust - don't keep it bottled up. Eating disorders are far more psychological than they are physical. You deserve to be happy with yourself and your body, so getting help now means taking action to achieve just that - happiness and confidence.
I hope it turns out okay for you. Take care
