Hey Camille,
It definitely does sound like you're at risk for developing an eating disorder. The points that your counselor made are all good ones, and they are factors that often can lead to an eating disorder.
The good news is that you know all of this ahead of time. So it's in YOUR control whether or not you do develop an eating disorder. You can use this knowledge as power to prevent an ED from developing. Talk with your counselor, work with him on coping strategies, talk with him about what's going on in your life, figure out ways to cope without starving yourself.
It is NOT worth it to develop an ED--it's not something you can "have" for a few months and then move on from it. Trust me, you don't want to lose years, even decades, to a disease that doesn't have to happen.
Stay strong Camille, take good care of yourself.
<3
