It's weird having food problems that don't sort cleanly into established "eating disorders." It's hard to talk about them. I can't make words describe my patterns accurately. The words "eating disorder" carry too much, or the wrong things; the words "food problems" don't carry enough. It reminds me of when folks are ready to be queer but not say "queer." Or when women call each other "ladies" because the word "woman" is too scary.
