One of my friends was diagnosed with anorexia but she's not skinny at all, probably about 75lbs overweight. It is ignorant to believe that all anorexics/bulimics/etc are skinny people because they aren't.
Try aiming for a goal everyday. Perhaps 800 calories to start with? And tell yourself that eating meal won't make you fat. It's good to eat healthy, don't get me wrong, but your body needs nourishment and if it doesn't get that, it will shut down. If you feel a binge coming on, grab whatever you want but just eat half of it.
I wish you luck. It must be hard to deal with, especially without family support. As desertgal suggested, try talking to someone like a teacher or guidance counselor.
