A member asked:
Does binge eating and going aneorexic actually help you lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like: Bulimia/anorexia nervosa. Oddly enough these two opposites often go together and are indications of serious biochemical changes in brain. Since this is potentially dangerous, you badly need local medical advice.
