You, my friend, have got to get help now.
This can become an obsession that sucks the joy out of life if you don't find a way to overcome it, and I think you could use some help.
Go see your doctor and share the truth with him/her- tell your parents or school guidance counselor.
Hate to be ironic, and some here will hate me, but some of the meds that control obsessive-compulsive disorder, which includes body dismorphia disorder (consuming obsessive thoughts about body shape) and anorexia will also make one lose a bit of weight- while stopping the obsessive thoughts.
If you have a legit reason to lose a little this could be the perfect plan.
Above all, honey, go talk to an adult you trust- the support is crucial.
Best of luck!! I'm in your corner.

Talk to your parents about the feelings you are having. School counselors and/or nurses also can give you information on eating disabilities. From your description, you sound like you could use an Eating disorder program. Binge eating is very hard on your body organs - especially the heart. As you get older, you could end up with severe medical problems, get help now so you can have a healthy life.
Good Luck and get well.

Your current system will lead to long term weight gain.
Eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies, lean meat and a couple of cereal/bread serves each day and exercise at least 3 times a week.
This should maintain a healthy weight and metabolism.

you HAVE to tell your parents if you want help. People with eating disorders will find it nearly impossible to control it themselves.
