Without being able to see your diary or your workouts, it's hard to tell what could be happening. You are doing amazing but you seem to be losing a great deal of weight in a very short period of time. Perhaps, you should readjust your goals to lose a pound a week and see if eating the extra food helps your overall well being.

You can do this! Maybe try losing slower, or adjusting calorie goals a bit. I know not eating enough is so hard on my mental health and motivation. Do a bit of playing with he numbers and see what you can do to motivate yourself to stick with it!

Even if you lose a half a pound a week or a few a month, in a year you'll be at maintenance and maintaining is the name of the game!

15 lbs in 2 weeks? No wonder you're burning out with that much deficit!

You're losing at a very rapid pace - more than 1% body weight per week. One major reason you shouldn't lose 2.5 lb/week like you have been is diet fatigue. Another is lean mass preservation.

Up your eating by 500 calories per day. You'll still lose at a good pace but it will be easier and healthier.
