Okay, I feel really stupid even asking about this because I've told many people over and over again about how bad eating disorders and stuff are.
But for a while I started cutting down how much I ate a lot. I was never hungry and I was always upset so I would basically eating one meal and that would be it for me. Now, I can eat a few things a day and not feel hungry cause i'm used to it.
I've started to gain my weight back that I lost, but it just makes me feel really gross and I don't like it. I want to lose the weight again. So, I started cutting down on some of my food again because I wasn't really hungry anyway. I feel fine and everything, but i'm already small so I think it's probably bad for me to lose weight even if I feel ok. But lately whenever it's time to eat I either barely eat much or find things that are only healthy like fruits and stuff.
I know i'm not eating the 2000 calaries i'm sposed to be...does this sound bad?

Mmm.. oyu may be on the bridge of an eating Disorder. But the fact you're talking here is good.... most people at the start are in denial. Look- as you eat less and less your stomach starts to shrink, so even with just a little bit of food you get fuller. Try eating a little bit more each day... don't just go in, wham, eat 3 big meals, try eating an extra apple today, a bit more the next day, until you're up to your normal amount. If you want to loose weight, eat the same amounrt, but like you're doing, healthy things like fruit and salads. Good luck! x x x x x x

But I don't want to gain the weight back. My sister is constantly been saying how I'm too skinny even when I was my normal weight. I don't wanna be one of those people who look like skeleton thin and think they look good, but I don't want to be my normal weight. The thing is, I think even my normal weight was small, so if I try to keep my weight down it might be considered unhealthy.

I don't understand what you want.... Firstly you say you're too skinny, even when you were normal weight, but you don't want to gain the weight back? Sorry... It may just be cos I'm tired.

Okay um..well I know I should gain weight, it's just that I don't want to. I know that it's healthier if I do, and I know that if I keep losing weight the way I have been, I'll look like a skeleton. I don't like the fact that I could end up turning into disgustingly skinny, but I dont like the feeling of gaining my weight back. I'm afraid that I'll end up eating one meals again like I used to. It hasn't really been an eating disorder yet, and I'm not stupid. I know many people would consider one meal a day annorexic if that's how I started to always eat.
I know i'm not really making sense...I can't really understand it myself. I was hoping someone else would. It's like my head knows what's better but my body doesn't like it. When I started gaining the weight back I hated how it looked.

How is your weight on a BMI scale? Is it at a healthy weight or how far is it from being unhealthy. If you want to loose weight then do it the right way. Hard work. Eat normal amounts of food and excersize 30 minutes a day. I know easier said then done but it is the best way.

My BMI has always been underweight, even my normal weight was underweight on the scale. But i've been told that it may not be accurate since it doesn't include everything like your frame and gender ect. I just looked up a site that calculates it. That's kind of of what I was saying before. I'm already small, so I shouldn't want to lose weight.

Have you ever talked to a nutrtionist. I think if your a good weight then you shouldn't worry. Usually gender doesn't have much to do with what a normal weight is but you can find BMI calculators on the net that include that stuff.

OK- I get you now. Iwas just very tired this morning.
About the one meal a day thing... it's not anorexic... I eat one meal a day, so don't worry aout that if it's what you normally do and it feels right. Erm.... Well, try not to loose more weight, just stick like this? Is that an OK option? How much weight have you lost exactly?

Well I didn't used to do the one meal a day. But now, i've been doing it for a while so I don't get hungry as much anymore anyway. It feels fine to me, but my family doesn't like how i've been eating. I think i'd keep losing weight if I kept eating the way I have. So far, i've lost 6 pounds. I don't know if that's considered a lot...but to me it is. My clothes have been getting baggy on me and I look a lot thinner. I'm thinking I'm just gonna start forcing myself to eat salads or something if i'm not hungry and it's time to eat.
