I had (have) a lot of friends with eating disorders of various kinds -- Anorexia, Bulimia, Compulsive Over Eating, Compulsive Exercising, EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specifiec. Some are waiting for someone to reach out and help them, others are in complete denial. I never freaked out because I've seen quite a bit of it. My one very good friend was hospitalized in high school when she hit 80 lbs.. I am always supportive, even to those that are in denial.
I encourage you to first speak with a doctor. Request they help you find someone that specializes in eating disorders. Just speaking with a general therapist won't really help. They won't lecture you; but be ready for them to find out the root of the ED. Note: most eating disorders are not the cause; they are the effect.
I've been surprised over the years at the number of people that I know who suffer from EDs. Some of them are chonic cases; others are episodal. Most feel they are never cured, but are in remission.
Feel free to PM me if there are more specifics you would like to ask.
