Hey Claire,
I can relate to what you are saying. Even if you're overweight, starving yourself is still very harmful for your body. Depriving it of nutrients over a prolonged period of time is not going to do good for you, your mood, your concentration etc, they'll all suffer. So while you say you don't want to stop this behaviour - do you want the terrible consequences that come with it?
The first thing that struck out to me from your post though was you saying you'd never eaten three meals a day. For me the biggest thing to stop binging is to stop restriction (restriction breeds binging) and also to eat three meals a day, and planned snacks. I wonder if maybe you gave it a try it might change things for you in regards to your eating patterns?
Do you have any professional support to help you work on your issues with food?
Weight loss might feel good, but if you're going about it the wrong way it's going to damage your body & your mind, and equally, you're likely to gain the weight back on, too, or binge because you have been restricting. I've been through this myself.
You posted in another thread about Lighter Life, didn't you? Do you feel the same lack of energy & grumpiness now? Try and think of the negative consequences of what you are doing so you can try and correct this - if nothing else than for your health. Even if you're overweight and need to lose it, there are right and wrong ways to do it for your health in the long term.
