Would I Be Diagnosed With An Eating Disorder?

I've hated my body for as long as I can remember, but would I be diagnosed with an eating disorder?

In middle school, I started strictly counting calories and restricting them, especially when I was stressed or as a way to cope.

Then I went through a time when I would eat more, but burn it off in sports and running when I got home.

In high school I started restricting a lot again. This went off and on for a while, until my family began wondering why I was so skinny. I noticed my mom kind of watching me while I ate and trying to feed me more.

I started running again to work off the extra calories. If they ever were gone, I would make myself vomit.

Just this summer I told my best friends what I've been struggling with. For a while they were helping me get better, but then I began lying to them about my intakes, and I tell them I weigh more than I do.

I've begun eating and spitting out certain foods. If I'm alone I'll purge, even though I'll only eat minimal calories in a day.

Does this sound like am eating disorder? Perhaps EDNOS?

What should I do? (Besides go to a doc or tell my parents)

Thanks everyone.
