I think, in fact, I know I have problems. I have this weight obsession (as a result of my eating disorder) and I am afriad to show any indication that I have one. This makes it hard for me to make friends, b/c my weight is constantly on my mind. It is depressing. I feel like I can't be myself b/c it is just too weird.
I am seeing a therapist who is helping me get over my ED, but in the meantime my "friends" are thinking I am this perfect person with no flaws..I don't want to just come out to them and say, "hey, I have been having an eating problem." They aren't even my friends since I have known them only since I have had my ED, so all they know about me is what I have shown them--which is the fake me.

I am in so much trouble. What do I do about this?
 
You are not weird for having an eating disorder. Not even your friends are perfect, nobody is perfect. Everyone has flaws. I understand that you don't want them to know about your ED, if you don't feel comfortable that is ok. Keeping personal problems to yourself doesn't make you fake.
