Deneb,
Here's one of many websites - I'm sure there are more/better ones. Maybe do a lot of reading there in addition to talking to posters here?

But, Deneb, more importantly PLEASE call your pdoc. This is serious.
Please don't wait. Please tell her it's getting worse. Could you take this post and read it to her? (Like you read to all of us in Toronto...sometimes it's easier to do that than speaking spontanously, you know?)
I'm afraid of you isolating as I know you don't confide in your family or friends all that much. The BEST time to get help for this dangerous behavior is NOW, in an early stage. I would go with you if I could, if that would help you seek help and be honest about what you're doing.
I know it's hard, but you can do it. Don't let this take any more hold of my friend, Deneb. I really, really like her and don't want her to get sicker from this and suffer even more.((Deneb))
You know, your pdoc/T. can help you figure out *what* you're really purging, 'cause it's surely not the food. Don't mean to make that sound simplistic or anything, like it would be solved in one session - what I mean is if you can start right now - at getting to the root AND with strategies to cut down the purging, maybe you won't have to face all the consequences others here endure still from these kind of disorders.
I'm so sorry you're feeling the need to do this, Deneb, it must feel so scary to be out of control and keep living that cycle. You don't have to do this alone, or with just Babble - there is IRL support out there. Call her, okay?
((Deneb))
