I've been ill for most of my life and have never had anybody who could understand where I was coming from. It has led to other coping strategies. Would somebody be able to chat abut it?

The illness is a way to calm oneself and to avoid other issues. I too have struggled with the disease for most of my life as well as alcoholism. Understanding the underlying casues of overeating and trying to address them can help. As can keeping a journal of your thuoght and your food intake

I dealt with anorexia and bullimia for a long time. I do still deal with my body, but thanks to a lot of strength, a lot of will, a lot of me wanting A Lot of peace, I have found some ways to pacify my pains and thoughts about my body. I am willing to talk about some of these things and ways with you anytime...I recomend the book. "the anatomy of the spirit".
But on a deeper level it begins with you....
I love and want to hear that I am beautiful and pretty and strong and everything else I think I deserve to hear....So what do I do to get that?
 Every day I look into the mirror and I tell my self with meaning
"Christina, you are BEAUTIFUL, your are POWERFUL, you ARE STRONG, AND YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT".
I tell myself multiple times some days, it all starts from within, some days I do not feel like that but I still tell myself, over and over, because I need to hear it. 
Habits become routines and after quite some time you begin to believe it , because that is what you want. But you have to want it and hear it and believe it from you. so just keep telling yourself and keep believing and continue trying to reach out. get back to me =]
I pray for you.

in response to wanting to chat, what exactly is it that could make you feel better?  i am open to pretty much any conversation and am in the same position, constantly feeling as if i am misunderstood by everyone around me.

Well as Im sure you realise, eating Disorders are not about weight and food. They may seem to be, but these are just symptoms of something much more underlying, triggered by your own feelings and issues and ideolgies. Your emotions such as low self-worth, depression, sadness, anger, confusion, frustration, fear, insecurity etc -- Issues like low self-esteem, dysfunctional relationships, lack of boundaries, perfectionism, being a "yes" person, social self-judgment, phobia or isolation -- are just some simple examples.

You need to be willing to find and explore what those issues are for you personally. You need to be willing to accept and thus heal from the pain and/or anger. You will have to learn to express and talk about what you feel in a healthy environment, and to address what your issues may be. You will need to learn to identify your own negative emotions and what triggers negative thinking. Ultimately, the goal for all of us is needing to learn to identify and cope with the stresses of our life and the emotions that we feel.

Therapy is one of the most succesful and advantageous ways to help one discover what's going on inside. Support groups have also proved helpful. Documenting about how you feel, buying self-help books, going to self-esteem seminars, thinking about how your relationships and pivotal people in your life have effected you, thinking about choices you've made, exploring what you have (had) and do not (did not) have control over, visiting with past major events of your life -- these are all important parts of getting to your pathological and present issues and feelings.
