everyone is different it coul just be the way your body wants to eat. ask a doctor to make sure its ok.

It sounds like it could be a type of bulimia to me (binge/purge cycle). You may be young enough to get away with it for now, but as you age, the yo-yoing will take it's toll on your body. Bodies like balance, not extremes. It might be wise to talk to a professional and explore why you are cycling in your food intake. If it is an eating disorder, like all addictions, it will increase with time (and be harder to kick).

It could be an eating disorder...but really I think only if you do this to lose weight and if you don't feel good about your body like it's weight/ fatness. If you don't have those thoughts and feelings and that is just the way you eat then no.

wow! Lucky! I am 5"8 and weigh 130 lbs! I think that could be normal if you are still a teenager, but if you are not it might be serious! Good luck
