I hate the fact I can no longer eat. I cry all the time, when I do eat something I feel complete guilt. Everyone says I am too skinny, and yet I cant get over this obsession of not eating. I want help, because I want my hair to stop falling out, I want to feel the temperature right again, I want to be healthy and feel healthy. I just want to look underweight, I dont want to look like I can pack down a hamburger. AUGH! I hate this, Please tell me how I can eat and not gain all my weight back, even if I still dont eat enough.
