Do I have an unhealthy obsession with weight loss?!
Question:
Do I have an unhealthy obsession with weight loss?
have recently lost a lot of weight (55 lbs) and I am in the dead center for my healthy weight range (5'2, 122..checked it on a BMI calculator). I STILL want to lose 20 more pounds, which would put me at 102. According to the BMI calculator, this would put me below my healthy weight range for my height. I now only eat once or twice a day and when I do, I feel sick to my stomach. I do not throw up or not eat. Even though I do not do that, could I have a body issue problem or even an eating disorder? I am just really lost and worried.
Answers:
Its very likely that you're starting a bit of an unhealthy obsession, especially since you're at a perfect weight for your age/height.
For starters, congratulations on losing 55lbs, that's quite an achievement! Try to focus on how far you've already come :)
I don't know why you would feel sick after eating, other than just the stress and worry about gaining the weight back. That combined with not eating enough - or often enough - could make your stomach upset.
You might want to talk to your doctor, or consider seeing a nutritionist to help you work through some of this. Good luck, and congratulations again!
