Purging disorder is another one, which differs from anorexia because you aren't underweight, and from bulimia because you don't binge eat. You eat a small or normal amount of food, but purge it through vomiting, laxatives, etc. It's often associated with stress, I have it as part of Tourette's/OCD and not as a means of weight control.

Then there's orthorexia, where people are obsessed by eating only healthy food, and binge eating where people binge but don't purge.

About.com has a good overview of other ones:

This one is very common, but I believe it is an ED:
Eating a whole chocolate cake (or whatever) and being sick for about 8 hours. Pretty much just laying in bed not moving and being miserable both physically and emotionally. Then still not feeling great the next day and being really thirsty! Ugh!
I think 75% of females have done this. It's living to eat, not eating to live.
This is most common among teen-age girls. (Some guys.) Most kids outgrow it eventually. Most, not all. I guess it's over-eating, glutany, binge-eating, etc.
Interesting question gets a star in my book!

binge eating i know it falls under the category as bulimia but binge eating is just a symptom of bulimia it can actually be an eating disorder on its own where you can't control what you eat and instead of throwing it up you just eat....and there is also overexercising but that is not an eating disorder but it can be a symptom

Hm. I forgot what it's called.
But it's when you excessively exercise to the point of fainting and vomiting "/
