Do I have an eating disorder

Hi everyone I’m new here.
Don’t know if this kind of post is allowed or where I should put it.
So in May this year I decided to lose weight. I weighed 15.7stone and am 5ft6.
It worked! I now weigh 13.12stone.
However, I started through calorie counting and ate no more than 1600 a day. It went well, I swam 4 times a week and ate healthily.
Now I cannot eat more than 1200 without fear of gaining weight and I feel so guilty and disgusting when I do. I still eat junk food every day rather than healthy food and because of this I now am not eating much. Eg yesterday, one sandwich, one packet of crisps, two slices of pizza, one muffin and two cookies.
Surely I can’t have an eating disorder. I weigh myself 3 times a day and frequently break down because of my weight. I am finding it so hard to eat well and eat more.
I am losing more weight.
Surely because I’m overweight still I cannot have an eating disorder.  please help.

It sounds like you do have an eating disorder. You don’t have to be under or overweight to have an issue with food.

I would say please get help now before you put your health at risk.
