Eating issues? So I guess I've taken more drastic measures to lose weight in the past year. I lost a stone (14 pounds)?

and then gained it back and lost it all again. I want to lose another 10 pounds. I eat 500 or less calories a day and I've purged maybe 10-15 times within the year. I'm not skeletal at all, you wouldn't think I had these well issues. My bmi is 18.6 and not massively low. But I'm starting to worry about like having a heart attack or something? I just can't gain any weight and I think I'll be fine once I'm at my goal, then I can maintain on 1000 and be healthy. Do you think that would be okay?

Definitely a eating disorder. There is no way you should be eating less than 500 calories in a day, and purging is NEVER a good thing to do. You won't have a heart attack, women only have heart attacks after they stop producing estrogen during menopause. Go exercise and eat more, your body will actually put on weight if you starve yourself like this, it produces fat in response to the starvation. Just eat more and exercise.

How can I possibly put on weight? All you do is plateu sometimes. I've never gained weight eating under 500, it's a myth, doesn't happen.. Otherwise how people in third world countries so skeletal? Sorry not trying to have a go at you!

I've lost over a stone and gone down 2 dress sizes so obviously I've lost weight

I've been there. Sounds like an eating disorder. You eat way too little and you are nearly underweight. Whatever your "goal" is, its too low. And 1000kcal is still too little. You do not understand what is healthy or what is reasonable anymore.

Please go talk to some professional before its too late.

I know what's healthy, I'm just more concerned on losing another 10 pounds. I'll be at my goal and can maintain then? Then I'll be fine? Like in 2 weeks I'll pretty much be there and can go back to pretty much normality

You are seriously messed up. You need help

[Asker]

Nahh I'm not

[Opinion Owner]

Im not going to keep arguing. Slowly kill yourself if you want

[Asker]

Lol okay, six pounds more won't kill me

[Opinion Owner]

It just might. You eat so little you might get a heart attack. Or faint any moment

it sounds like you suffer from a form of ednos and I think your health should be a top priority. If you are concerned about your weight eat small portions from all the main food groups but don't count calories, it's starvation in disguise
