There is orthorexia nervosa which is the obsession with eating only healthy foods. People who have it are usually obsessed with becoming pure and worry about everything they are consuming.

There is selective eating disorder in which sufferers only eats certain types of food and aren't likely to try anything new.

And there is binge eating disorder where the person consumes a large amount of food in a short amount of time and usually feels guilty and depressed afterwards.

Some girls I know are on the "fork-ful diet" eat meals in one fork-ful of 3-5 things. It's got the same symptoms as anorexia.

I have Binge Eating Disorder. It's kind of like Bulimia without the purging.

I eat in starve/binge cycles. A cycle might be kicked off because someone said something nasty about my weight, or because I notice I've gained weight. I might tell myself that with starving people in the world, I have no right to be so fat, and that other people would have more to eat if I didn't eat so much. So I starve myself, going days without eating, even to the point of passing out. Then I build up so much legitimate hunger that I'll eat everything in sight. Afterward, I tell myself what a fat pig I was for eating so much… and the cycle starts all over again.
