I didn't count calories yesterday or today (it was starting to feel obsessive). Today I went a bit overboard with a tray from cookout. I ate the fries, most of the vanilla milk shake. I also had a coke.

Alright, I think I got the gist of things. Chill on trying to lose weight for now, eat close to maintenance, concentrate on eating healthier/more nutritious foods and go to the doctor. Thanks, guys!

I don't have an issue getting my hands on healthy foods, but thanks. :D It's just going to the doctor that's going to cost a fortune.

I said it because it is malnutrition, essentially. I ate junk food as meals-- a bunch of empty calories with no nutrients. I didn't mean for it to sound so bad, though. I'm 5'3, and a website I looked at said that my intake for maintaining should be 1950 to 2150, and to lose weight would be 1450 to 1650. The only thing…

EDIT: I just realized this sounds like I'm anorexic. I'm not. Just fat, not eating enough nutrient dense foods... Or any at all. That's what I mean by malnutrition.

Wait, why do I need a therapist?

I don't have an eating disorder. I tend to eat my feelings, but I don't have any serious problems like that. Does the ACA just make sure I come out with a $3k bill instead of ten? Lmao.

I don't have a doctor, so it'd probably just be the hospital. That's too much money, so in short, probably not.

MFP figured it for me, I just went with it.

I'm definitely obese. 19, 230ish (I'm guessing), sedentary.

I don't have insurance aside from student insurance, so I probably won't be seeing a doctor until a month from now, even then, it's not a real doctor, I don't think. I have a month to try to fix things on my own.

I don't think I can eat 2k calories of healthy food, lol. Seems like a lot.

I'm afraid of going to a doctor. I want to see if I can get my period back with diet first. I read that being overweight could cause not having one.
