What Is An Eating Disorder?

What is an eating disorder? And which one could this be? First I should explain my past. When I started high school I got worried that I would gain weight. For two years I ate very little in order to stay at the same weight.

I became vegetarian in 2007. I started trying to get healthy in November 2009, and was put on anti-depressants. I also started to diet, and my goal was to fit a size 4 dress, and then slowly lose more weight from there. I lost about 25 lbs between May 2010 and January 2011.

Now I have control again. My old habits came back and I've been severely restricting my food intake.

I was wondering if protein meal replacements are somewhat better instead of eating small portions of carbs?

Would what I'm doing now be an eating disorder? If so, what type? Could all this protein make me gain? Also is mixing my prescriptions with diet pills ok?

I'm sorry this so long
Thanks so much!
