I hope this isn't a bad question to ask, but because you mentioned that you don't like to eat because you're worried it is making you fat, I'm wondering if you ever throw up? (If you don't, never do!). The reason that I ask is because when someone does throw up, the face does swell a bit, particularly around the jaw - it's referred to as "chipmunk cheeks." So if you do ever throw up, please stop because it's horrible for you and because it might be making your face bigger.
If that's totally off base, the best advice I can give is to just try to reassure yourself that it's not possible that your face is going to become noticeably bigger after you eat. If possible, try to avoid looking in the mirror if that's upsetting. Maybe having something to distract you right after you finish eating would also help.

Your face isn't getting bigger. It is the nose and ears that never stop growing. This is an unhealthy obsession you are going through right now. I'm sure it's just a chemical imbalance. It's pretty common to have chemical imbalances these days. It's easily corrected. Make an appointment with your doctor.
Happy New Year.
