I go through these phases where i starve myself?

Question

they'll last for two or three weeks and i'll compulsively exercise too, whilst eating about 500 cal a day, if that. im obsessed with food and restriction and weight loss in these phases.

then ill go back to normal, but still calorie count and feel guilty after eating.

usually something will trigger it, like today i felt like i asked my bf if the girls in the mags he looks at were hotter than me; he said yes & said i was too thin.

made me feel depressed and so so self conscious.

why do these phases happen?

Answer 1

these phases are obviously triggered by insecurity with way you look... which is clearly damaging your relationship with your boyfriend. if the people who care about you can see that your getting too thin and your bizzare behaviour and irritating questions are probably just annoying to your boyfriend. make an effort to understand that the people who love you care about who you are not how you look so dont s***w things up just because your being selfish and self obsessed. been there done that. you can be healthy, thin and not obsessed and be happy with the way you look and who your are without starving yourself.

Answer 2

You need to see a doctor and get help. This isn't normal. I think that you can fix it on your own cause you know what your problem is. You just need to be more active about the fix. Go to womenshealth.com for advice on the fix. At this level, I would just eat and not worry about what you're eating.  

Answer 3

1. girls in magazines are fake; they are photoshopped and they dont even really look like that. In real life, they just look like normal people.

2. eat normally and dont worry so much about what your eating, how much you weigh, how many calories your consuming. By the sounds of it, you probably are too thin so dont even worry about what other people think just do what you want and dont waste half your life stressing yourself out about these things. Just have fun!
