Eating Disorder

I think I have an eating disorder, but it's nothing like anything I've heard of before.
I'll start to crave a certain thing, for example banana Paddlpops, then I'll have to have one every day, then more than one, then a box, then 2 boxes, and pretty soon I eat nothing else except maybe one small meal a day. After a few weeks it changes to something else and it's like that other thing doesn't even exist. This has been going on since I was a teenager, but it seems to be getting worse over time.
My weight is fine and I'm otherwise pretty healthy.
Does anyone know what it is?
It's starting to worry me.

Go to your doctor. Most of these things stem from underlying anxiety or similar

I have this and have been told it's part of an addictive personality. Remember to focus on eating whole foods during the day as well even if you don't like. I had to force myself to eat a sandwich. But you need your vitamins xx

I have this. At the moment it's chicken noodles with shredded tasty cheese mixed through them. I just had that for lunch. And I always have it with frozen coke. I don't have to have it everyday but when I start to think of it that's it - my mouth is watering until I get one. I'm medicated for anxiety. I never feel full no matter what I eat.
