Eating Disorders Support Group

Ive only just come to terms with the fact that i have a problem with food. Ive yet to see the eating disorder specialists. Ive been throwin up my food for 7months and it was not until i was in hospital (because the vomiting caused low potassium and i needed a drip) that i realised that it is probably mental. I was sitting there thinking that if the vomiting stopped then they would let me come home, and so i just stopped it. Ive not put my fingers down my throat or anything like that, it just seemed automatic.
Anyway, ive been out of hospital for about a week now and ive been trying to eat less and eat slowly, but the problem is i am always hungry. I can eat and eat and eat until im so full that im sick, and i will still feel hungry. Ive managed to keep food in, and even then im hungry.
Is this hunger normal? is there anything i can do to stop it? does anyone have any tips on foods that i can pig out on that wont be really really bad for me?
Ive put on weight and it scares the life out of me and im so tempted to puke, but ive been really trying to keep food in coz i dont wanna end up back in hospital, but i never feel satisfied by my meals and so carry on eating and overfill myself and have to empty.

Please help, any advice is appriciated, thanks for reading this.
