Of which is common sense when it comes to anyone who is dealing with an eating disorder.

And I suppose it was implied that you read my message as me disregarding her self-image and focusing more on the weight issue.

I was just clarifying. Let's not overthink it.

Well the daily recomended caloric intake is about 1900 for female women who are lightly active which is walking about 1 mile a day. It is not recomended to cut your calories more than 500 below the recomended allotment so if you add the 500 calories saved a day times 7 that is 3500 calories lost in a week which equals one pound of body fat. So thats just to help see how much your caloric intake affects your weight.
It is important to be happy with your weight but also know that what you think is an appropriate weight may in fact be unhealthy. Here is a link to a body mass index calculator. It is easy to use and may help. Though not all people are the same if the index is saying you are drastically underweight it may be correct. Calculate your BMI - Standard BMI Calculator

Thank you everyone for your support.
Earlier today, after being advised to, I scheduled an appointment with my doctor. I hope we can figure something out. I guess I got lucky, he had a few spots open tomorrow, well today now.

I will keep posted.
Thank you again.

Thank goodness for that. I'm sure talking to someone in depth about this situation will definitely help you, especially with what you said about your grandparents and your father, which, imo, probably most likely did start your becoming self-conscious about your looks. The doctors are the experts and I'm glad you did finally find someone.

If people do not agree with my posts, I should at least be PM'd. However, I think you'll be forced to agree when you look deeper into what's happening here.


The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…

For forever she will wander, for forever she withholds; the Demon King is on his way, you’d best not be learned untold…

Not everyone's as fast as you, MMM.
