What’s your stats? Age, gender, weight...etc?? It also may be time to report this to a doctor instead of a forum.1

Also it may be a good idea to stop what you're doing and begin from the beginning

Do you weigh your food?1 -
You may not be logging properly. If you are not losing weight you probably want to weigh everything. I would be hungry on 900 calories. There are stickies with lots of good info at the top of the forum0

Why quickly?
This thread tells you have had a history of anorexia and also that you are eating late at night as a routine and you keep eating too much.
I am not sure if you are eating 800-900 and binging late at night or what. More details would be helpful.

What are your height/weight/measurement stats?
Because you said in a post the other day that you "used to be anorexic" but that now you're "OK", I think it would be a good idea for you to reach out to a therapist or treatment team. Body dysmorphia can be hard to overcome, and your brain is lying to you. You are quite obviously *not* doing OK at the moment.5 -
Stop. Reset. Begin again. This time with a sensible plan and NOT a crash diet. And like another poster said - maybe have a check up with your Doctor. Successful weight loss takes time, commit yourself to the long haul!1

If you don't weigh yourself how do you know you're not losing weight?1
