Answer 1

Yes kiddo, it is an eating disorder.

You really need to have a talk with your doctor to refer you to counseling and a Nutritionist.

Please get yourself some help... and good luck!

Answer 2

Just force yourself to eat smaller, healthier meals every three hours. (this is how long it takes your stomach to empty) Our bodies are not designed to eat overly-large quantities of food at once anyway. Just stick to "grazing" and this will hopefully solve your problems. If not, maybe you should see a doctor and get a professional opinion.

Answer 3

At 16 you are still growing so you will eat more during growth periods. There are a lot of other reasons why we go through periods of eating too much food. Some medications will cause this, so will being stressed out or even being just plain bored. Looking for some form of comfort will also make us eat when we don't really need it. If you are worried please talk to your Doctor even if it is only to relief your own mind that all is O.k. with you.

Answer 4

Depending on how much you're eating, it could be binge eating disorder or compulsive overeating. I would strongly recommend seeing a doctor, as any prolonged strain on your digestive system is definitely not healthy and could lead to other more serious problems.
