    I absolutely understand what you're saying. I do this sometimes too. I do not need counseling. I found out that I have reactive hypoglycemia. My body craves sugar and carbs if I don't eat enough good carbs through the day and eat all protein. Then at night I'm craving carbs and sugary stuff that I am not supposed to have. You may not have hypoglycemia. But by depriving yourself of good sugars and carbs in moderation throughout the day your body will want that later in the day. Try using sugar free drink mixed in water. They taste good/sweet and gives you flavor and its water so it's good for you. I do think you are at a good weight. I am 5'5" as well and am about 123. I'm trying to get to 119/120. I used to be 115 forever. But I've gained muscle. If you are lifting remember you will gain weight with muscle.

    Take a few minutes, do a search, and read her other threads. This one she mentions binges ... in others she says " I fixate on my appearance and think that if I become thin enough, I Wil finally lose some facial fat. Until then, I just want a stick thin but somewhat lean and strong body" ... "I am just so focused on being slimmer"

    The parts in bold are the red flags that have so many people telling her to seek help.

    You're at the low end of "thin". You keep posting "help" threads.

    Get some. Before this gets worse. You're THIN.

    What scares me is that a nurse is writing this (among the other posts op has).

    I'm not sure why this was flagged - and I'm probably a little late in the game here, but thankyou for your honest post and well done for reaching out. You did the right thing by upping your calories to a healthier amount but I don't think your issue here is with calories, more with your food relationship in general. You are so hard on yourself, OP - and that saddens me. I'm genuinely glad you made that call for help, you really did the right thing and I really hope you learn to love yourself regardless of weight. Wishing you the very best of luck.
