Losing Weight after Anorexia

Just based on BMI, your weight is in the normal range. Not sure why you feel like you need to lose weight? If you are having body image issues, I would continue to work with a therapist, and maybe do some weight training to tone up instead? Also, based on your exercise, I would put that moderate or even high, and increasing your calorie intake may actually help. Your binges may be your body telling you that you are in starvation mode, so when you finally give in, you over-do it. Maybe try eating more by adding in protein and complex carbs?

First of all you should listen to your professional advisers. They've got the best directions for you.
You need an expert to look after you. Because you are anorexic then the trouble lies deeper than just your weight. It's also your mind. You would not be satisfied from how you look even if you weighed too little.

Even if gradually I'm successful in my journey, then it happens because I know myself, my habits, my problems and so on. Here you will find a lot of tips and support but it might not be enough. I have friend with eating disorders. Now she recovered. However I've learned that a nice friends support is only one thing. No matter how good someone wishes you then if he/she is not an expert, they don't know how to lead you exactly. Even if they meant the best for you.

Probably in real life you get a lot of comments from the closest friends/family that you look good, you are beautiful and you don't have to force yourself to starve. And they embrace you with care and protection.
From what I experienced, it is still not enough. It's in the anorexic/bulimia mind. How such people see themselves. Sometimes their own perception might be so different that those supporting compliments don't boost the self-esteam.
On the contrary, sometimes they just make you mad.
You don't believe it and internally you still think that your body needs some "improvement".

I would say not to focus on BMI. It's very general measure that doesn't take a lot of conditions into consideration. For many years when I was younger my BMI would show that I'm underweight. However even though I weight little I never needed a special treatment. I ate a lot and moved a lot. My family doctor knew me therefore he was able to figure out on what he should pay attention to and what was not a problem in my case.
Now on the other hand I've gained on weight when my lifestyle has changed and my metabolism slowed down a little when the time went by. According to my BMI I'm okey, however when I see my figure I know it could get some fine tuning. Not drastic weight loss, however a belly fat should go etc.

Congratulate on your determination and the courage to ask for help. You're on a good way. Probably a little bumpy one, but still good. Don't only concentrate on numbers (how many I ate, how many pounds I lost) but also on stuff that makes you feel better about yourself.
Keep my fingers crossed.

OP you've posted about this very recently, did you go back and read the comments there?

Here is my advice, which you may not want to hear:

1.) Anyone in recovery from a restrictive eating disorder loses to privilege to diet.
2.) Anyone in recovery from a restricting eating disorder needs to accept the fact that their body needs to decide what weight they need to be at, not themselves. Your set point is your set point; trying to maintain a weight YOU are comfortable with is disordered.

3.) If you eat healthy (and no, I don’t mean “clean eating”), balanced meals, your body will be at the weight it’s meant to be at (assuming you are already weight restored and relatively healthy). That means, even in cases where you feel like you’ve earned the right to go on a diet (for example, after pregnancy, after unexpected weight gain, etc.), once you return to your normal diet, your body will lose the weight it’s supposed to, if it needs to.

In a nutshell, don’t diet.

(quote from edcynic@tumblr)
your doctor is in the wrong esp. because you are at a healthy weight. Consult your therapist about your eating habits & feelings with body image.

By the way I am 5'9.5 and my weight bounces between 155-161 right now from all the binging, fasting, and so forth.

I know it doesn't matter to you but from an outsiders perspective, 155 is a PERFECT weight for someone who is 5'9" and a half.

I am 5'9" and when I was 161 I thought I looked thin and a little gaunt. But my *kitten* looked great and my stomach was flat. I've alway kept a tight midsection, though.

But, like I said, it's your anorexia and no one can tell you how you look, but like I said, when it's someone looking at you from the outside who is not suffereing from body dysmorphia, I can imagine you look amazing RIGHT NOW.

Think about that before lose any more weight. I know you won't but there's always hope. Be careful.
