Do you make yourself vomit?  Do you eat a very large amount of food and then throw up?  are you preoccupied with your body size and or your weight? are you trying to lose weight and what do you vomit alot of if you aren't eating anything but mostly drinking coke?  Do you vomit your coke?  

FYI coke is extremely acidic and can eat away at the stomach lining if you drink to much of it especially on a empty stomach.  it contains alot a caffeine also and is very very addicting because of this.  You could be dehydrating yourself by the amaount you are drinking and not knowing it whci is making you want to drink more of it to quench your thirst.  But this is precipitating a vicious cycle.  

depending on your amswers to these questions you could have an eating disorder but messege me back and Ill try to point you in the right direction anyway cause Im not a Doc but almost one very soon.  

cheers,

coke is nothing but acid and sugar, it well cause your eating habit and distroy you stomach, so you how to take a coke test, take a penny and put it in a full coke can, and dump the coke out after a week and look at the penny face melt away from the acid, that what its doing to your stomach, coke also has caffeine thats why its addictive, you are only 17, i knew someone long time ago had same problem the coke had rotten his stomach and is no longer living after 35 years old.  good luck
