I don't think cutting weight gives anyone a eating disorder, but crash dieting and sucking weight might. It's gonna boil down to will power and how you handle the rebound.

I have a legit binge eating disorder and if I crash diet it hits me hard on the rebound.

Any time you go to a extreme measure to do something, regardless of what that something is, there's usually something counterproductive that comes afterwards.
