Anorexia Help for people with no money
I have been diagnosed with anorexia but my mother is in complete denial about it. She is not going to pay for a dietician to help me and I have very little money to do it on my own. Does anybody have any suggestions about how someone with no money can get help with anorexia?

Calorie goal not acurate?
Hi. I'm 5ft and mfp told me to eat 1200 kcal/day to lose weight. Fast forward a week: I felt ravenous, miserable, and weak. When I weighed myself, I'd lost way more weight than projected. After trial and error, I found that I can lose 0.5-1lb/week on 1650 kcal/day. I take 5k walks every day, but other than that I get…

Only a few days left of 2021...How'd you do?
