I'm 5'4 and trying for 1150 calories per day (adding a bit when I exercise). It's been sustainable for me, but I've kinda had to work up to it if that makes sense

Just plain milk! But before that it was a smoothie bowl with yogurt and tons of fruit so I could live with that!!

Cute at!!!

It's not super safe or healthy to be eating below 1000. I'd strongly advise you to eat around 1200 AT LEAST.

It's easy to be self-critical, but it seems to me that your journey has been impressive. You've kept the desire to improve yourself even with negative people in your life. You're gorgeous, and good…

Can I take part in this thread?

I'm sorry you're having this struggle in your life! I don't have experience with eating disorders really, but I will tell you that 3lbs is not very significant.
