[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really sucks, but you basically have to go hungry. Stop eating breakfast and lunch, and then do your normal eating for dinner. After a week, you will see the scale move a bit. Once you reach your desired weight, you basically have to keep this up, except maybe you can eat lunch and/or desserts on weekends.

I also had an ED as a teen, and my height/weight/age are similar. I recently loss weight through this method and currently maintaining, but it’s not easy. I feel like my behavior is disordered, but it’s what’s necessary to maintain a normal weight. OTOH, if I just somehow naturally ate less, or didn’t feel hungry or deprived, it wouldn’t feel disordered. But I was raised/conditioned to be scared of hunger. So I’m trying to reframe that now.

I’m already eating less. And not eating except one meal a day is disordered eating no matter how you frame it. How is that the only option?[/quote]

PP here. You have to think about why you think eating one meal a day is disordered. If that’s what it takes for you to sustain a normal/healthy weight, then you are by definition eating properly. Maybe that’s 1100 calories to lose weight. And most people would rather eat one large meal than 3-4 tiny meals that don’t alleviate any hunger. For me, it’s better to be full once a day than always hungry. [/quote]

Wow. This is wildly disordered, even more so than eating one meal a day. OP - the path to sanity here is to focus on strength/building muscle and whether you feel strong and like your body can do what you want it to physically. It sounds like you're eating well (and maybe not enough). Ignore the scale. [/quote]
