what can i do?

is there a website that solve troubles like that

Answer 1

I would suggest that you see your doctor first. I can't really advise you about this important issue. But what would you say to laying aside all the worries and eat healthy meals three times a day with mid morning and mid afternoon snacks? This would make your life more enjoyable. If you really have a weight problem, then eat smaller meals. If you are underweight, eat larger meals. Worry and the way you say you are eating is not healthy. Always drink plenty of water. Taking laxatives to lose weight is not healthy.

Answer 2

A BMI under 19 is considered underweight.  If you have a BMI in the underweight range, like you do, you are likely to be malnourished, and are at an increased risk of organ damage and immune system deficiency.  Don't worry though, you are not alone in your struggle.  The most successful way to overcome this disorder is to talk to a psychiatrist and set up an eating play with a dietitian.  Alerting your doctor to your condition at your next check-up (preferably within the next two months) would also be advisable because of the possible internal damage.  Professional help would be your best course of action, but if you would like to seek help over the internet you can visit the following sites.

or simply google "eating disorder support"

For the diet portion you will need to visit a dietitian.  They will access what kind of diet you should undertake based on you body type and disorder severity.

If you maintain a strong will you can beat this thing.  Good luck.
