I have been underweight, 100lbs in HS as a freshman when i should have been 110lbs. I NEVER ate breakfast or lunch, only dinner. But then after secrets were let out in the open i gained 3lbs, then 7lbs, then 5lbs until i reached a disgusting weight of 153. Then i went back down to 146 because i walked alot and drank green tea. After a month, i stopped walking because of an eye infection and i felt bad and crabby and then i gained side affects from my medications. Now? I went to my med dr and got weighted in, 155 :(. 5lbs away from 160. I feel look and am fat. I have a bulgy stomach i want to get rid of along with chubby hips and wide thighs.
Starting tomorrow i will go on the treadmill 30 min morning and night. Fast walking, and drink alot of lemon water and green tea and buy apples (they fill you up fast and dont have alot of calories)
I cant stop eating because my dad will literally put food in front of me when my mood is down and tell me to eat.
I talked to my mom about it and she said shell be happy to buy fresh produce and less junk food, only if i will eat that and not not eat. Which im contemplating on.
Besides that "eating""disorder""" i havent had any before. But im afraid i will gain more, so tell me if im crazy about planning to eat around 200 calories a day, or i might look up foods and count the calories to my desired intake per day.
I want to be skinnier thin, i tired of having the feeling that people think im gaining, i dont want them to think that. I want to be skinny like the girls in my hall, who are tiny, im big.My self esteem is so low, and my meds are only partially helping me mentally. I just need to control SOMETHING that will make me look and hopefully feel better.
I would make myself purge, but it will be too hard to hide. Turning on the shower, fosset, isnt enough. And my dad is ALWAYS home. Along with my brother.
What should i do?? I want to act on these things but my parents wont let me. Im always thinking about how i look and feel, and it all just really sucks.

If you want to lose weight do it in a HEALTHY way, 200 calories/day is way to little, and DO not purge. The thing is that once you start, you will only gain all the weight back when you stop.
So exercise in moderation and eat what you want in moderation and your weight will settle where it should be.
Are you speeking to a professional?
its such a hard battle to increase calories again, I used to do that what your doing and make sure i had 300 or less a day..I got thinner but not in a good way. I lost muscle mass and looked ill. I became secluded only wanting to count calories and looked skeltal in the end. Youll keep telling yourself ill stop when im thin enough...i wont get too thin but it doesnt work that way..once you start its so hard to stop. Please dont its not worth it. Instead try to do mroe exercise which releases enorphins and makes you feel good and over time youll get thinner and more toned, muscle etc ad have loads of energy and be fit which is way better than jsut being thin...most girls that are stick thin are really unhappy. You can get jsut as many negative comments being thin too.
Instead of focusing on what not to have, focus on what you can have: loads of vegatables, protein, dairy in moderation. Just be carefull of sugar more than anything and processed foods.
