Yeah, I think that is almost the ED I would have been diagnosed with except for an extremely low weight (around 80 lb. at 5'4") and loss of my period. I ended up diagnosed with anorexia-purging type, though the purging was thru exercise (also laxatives) and not vomiting. I think ED diagnosis can be a bit fluid.
