I'm reading a book right now called "When Food is Comfort: Nurture Yourself Mindfully, Rewire your Brain, and End Emotional Eating." by Julie Simon Amazon Link and one of the first steps to figuring out why you overeat is to track your emotional and physical state when you have a craving. What has become obvious to me is that I crave carbs and sugar when I'm tired, anxious, or stressed out which makes total sense. After seeing this it's made it easier to be mindful of these emotional states and prevent binges.
Read : ‘Overcoming Binge Eating’. Thank me later. Here’s the link Overcoming Binge Eating, Second Edition: The Proven Program to Learn Why You Binge and How You Can Stop https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DG1H8V4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_BXBAAP95KE66M5TBDMTA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Matt Stone’s original Diet Recovery is available for free on Amazon at the moment, so that’s about as good a place to start as anywhere else. The ideas in there about weight plateaus/regains and negative psychological effects resulting from dieting really hit home for me.
Processed food addiction : foundations, assessment, and recovery | Ifland, Joan; Marcus, Marianne T.; Preuss, Harry G | download
https://b-ok.cc/book/3580526/eb0096 > > Obesity and eating disorders have stubbornly refused to respond to treatment since the 1990’s. This book organizes the evidence for a possible answer, i.e., that the problem could be one of addiction to processed foods. In a Processed Food Addiction (PFA) model, concepts of abstinence, cue-avoidance, acceptance of lapses, and consequences all play a role in long-term recovery. Application of these concepts could provide new tools to health professionals and significantly improve outcomes. > > This book describes PFA recovery concepts in detail. The material bridges the research into practical steps that health professionals can employ in their practices. It contains an evidence-based chapter on concepts of abstinence from processed foods. It rigorously describes PFA pathology according to the DSM 5 Addiction Diagnostic Criteria. It applies the Addiction Severity Index to PFA so that health practitioners can orient themselves to diagnosing and assessing PFA. It contains ground-breaking insight into how to approach PFA in children. > > Because the book is evidence-based, practitioners can gain the confidence to put the controversy about food addiction to rest. Practitioners can begin to identify and effectively help their clients who are addicted to processed foods. This is a breakthrough volume in a field that could benefit from new approaches.

I've been reading this book, which I've found really helpful: Food The Good Girls Drug
It's part book and part journal, and it's been nice to get in touch with myself and see that other people have had similar problems.
I actually read a book recently about binge eating by one of the most prominent psychologists in the field (Here is a link if you are interested: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DG1H8V4/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&btkr=1#customerReviews )
In that book it certainly seemed like eating very small amounts and then having huge binges and deciding to throw it up was actually not that uncommon in terms of eating disorders.
And she didn't necessarily say she had a diagnosable eating disorder, she just said her eating habits at the time were disordered which seems pretty true as she described it.
This is basically what Overcoming Overeating teaches you. Eat what you want, but only eat when you're physically hungry.
If you want to use a book as a jumping off point (because seeing a psychologist will help more) the "Feeling good about the way you look" book has the most reputable author who would be the best authority of cognitive behavioral therapy. This is as a psychology student in training and not someone who has read the books and can speak from experience. I would also look into these: http://www.amazon.com/Living-Your-Body-Other-Things-ebook/dp/B00HMFL1IQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421641211&sr=8-2&keywords=act+for+body+dysmorphic+disorder&pebp=1421641242762&peasin=B00HMFL1IQ http://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Body-Dysmorphic-Disorder-Behavioral/dp/1608821498/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421641211&sr=8-1&keywords=act+for+body+dysmorphic+disorder&pebp=1421641288919&peasin=1608821498
