sounds like you comfort eat like me! its horrid!! my worst ever binge was 1 pizza garlic bread and chips and then 3 bowls of ice cream lol god it was awful!!
i just dont keep anything in the house and use small plates and bowls.
Also eatting porrige in the morning helps because it fills you up and then i eat oatcakes whenever im hungry throughout the day and they are low/medium GI which fills you up stops you feeling so hungry and takes longer to burn out.
Also a teaspoon of cinnamon can help balance sugar levels and help reduce cravings - also good for this is the supplement chromium x x x
Believe me that is NOT an eating disorder, which is good for you!
A loooooot of people do the same as you. Comfort foods are the best, but can also be your worst ennemy. I had an eating disorder… several to be honest since I was 9 years old. I was anorexic for about 7 years and the attendants at lunch time had to supervise me to make sure I ate my lunch. I always managed to throw it all out. Then came purging. That lasted about 2 years. All were confirmed by doctors. It’s not pretty, and it leads to severe complications. I had many infertility problems, contributed to my health mostly and how I treated my body. It has permanently affected me. Try to focus on the REAL reasons why you want to do this. Find the drive to push through those negative thoughts in your head and only think positive. It’s DAMN hard I know, but can be done! Find that motivation and work out. Working out is a great stress reliver! Also, eat regularily. 5-6 meals a day will steer those cravings and binge sessions away and clear of mind because your body will not crave lacked nutrients. And last of all, smile! You’re beautiful. Don’t think it, believe it. Look around you! You’re doing much better than you think! And remember it could always be worse. This is something so many people take toom much for granted. You DO have your health and a wonderful life. For all the people out there who were not given the chance to a healthy life, take charge of it and don’t sulk over the things you cannot control… control the things you CAN: eatings habits and weight loss! Keep it up! 
When I was in England, my friend told me she had been diagnosed with an eating disorder and she described what you did. Maybe I’m totally off, but I think some other countries recognize a wider definition of what constitutes an eating disorder. While what you described doesn’t fall into the traditional definition, if food has more control over you than you have over it, that is a disorder. A common one, unfortunately =( I’ve dealt with mine by exercising more. If I feel out of control, I go for a run. (walks don’t do it for me, it just gives me time to think about what I want to eat next). It’s not a practical solution in all situations, but it helps me and I hope it helps you =)
