Eating disorder: This sounds very much like the routine of a bulimic. You have the inappropriate eating followed by inappropriate ways to deal with that. What really matters, though, than putting a label on it, is that the person has a serious eating disorder that needs urgent evaluation and treatment. Who cares what you call it - either can kill you. Person should discuss with doctor ASAP for immediate treatment.
