    Don't give advice like this. This is dangerous. That is not healty. No way to lose weight without doing damage to your body.

    Eat to lose. That is the rule. Nothing less than 1200. Add exercise. I raised my calories from 1220 to 1460 and lost the last 5 plus 3. I have started to add additional calories to keep from losing more.

    Don't starve yourself.

    You need to see a Dr. You have a serious issue that will lead to life long medical issues.

    I agree with some of the others, you need to see your doctor and come up with a plan. Maybe you can be referred to a dietitian. You need help getting over your previous issues, and making the right food choices for you. Please listen to the people here, we only want to help. You do need to keep your calories at 1200 or above. I wish you the best!

    I eat between 1200-1250 calories per day at least 200 of those is snacks. Half of the time I'm not Hungary but I know if I do below the 1200 calories that not good for my body.

    Your diary shows you undereating every single day. It's right there in front of your face. Piss-poor habits like that lead to piss-poor performance and results.

    If you are undereating, fear eating, etc then I'm sorry to say, but you have not recovered from your eating disorder. As everyone else said, increase your calories, your body will get used to it. Try not to overthink it, eating more will benefit you in the long term both health-wise and in regards weight loss too. Remember food is fuel, you NEED it. Stop weighing yourself as well, the scale is misleading. Most importantly, get professional help. Good luck with recovery! I'm currently on the process of recovery, it's very rewarding in the end. Don't give up!

    You are still suffering from anorexia. I hope you are seeing a specialist or that you will. I think you need inpatient treatment.

    When I was in inpatient treatment (some 17 years ago) I think they started me at 1,000 then upped my calories slowly... like 200 per week. If you will not get professional help, at least try upping by 200 for the rest of the week. You will see that you will not bloat up or gain or look any different, and then you can up it by 200 again and try to get up to something sustainable and healthy. I hope you make it.

    Again, please get help.

    Thank you <3 This is the advice that I was looking for.

    All my experiences with inpatienting and even supervised outpatienting was horrible and restrictive and made me feel worthless/like I had no life. I'll work really hard to try and follow what you've said.

    I don't want to relapse again :(
