    No I don't have any medical issues (that I know of) and I haven't deliberately gotten this low I feel like I eat a decent amount

    What is a 'decent' amount?

    Calories wise I don't know but I eat a big bowl of cereal for breakfast then either a chicken wrap (about 400 to 500 or so calories) or a peanut butter wrap then for dinner usually a bowl of pasta I don't really snack and only drink water

    hey rogue, 14.5 is very dangerous and God forbid, you can end up hospitalized... have you always been underweight or is this loss over time from a higher weight

    well 9 stone 10 is close to 140lbs which is bordering on normal weight for your tall height and is a lotttt better health-wise....u have to up your calorie intake everyday and avoid doing intense cardio

    if this is a psychological issue where u're afraid of eating more or gaining, then the best thing to do is to see a professional...is there someone in ur fam u could talk to about this

    I don't do pretty much any intense cardio all I do is walk for like 5 hours (well I collect shopping for online orders in a supermarket) then the rest of the day I'm usually sitting
