How to stop eating/thinking like this?!
All I ever think about is food!! If I have this I'll have ___ calories left for dinner, crap that was ___ calories, if I eat half of this it'll be ___ calories, etc. I even look up calories on my phone and estimate them, although I prefer when it says the amount on the package.
I also HAVE to exercise after I eat!
I weigh myself constantly, and always check to see if I look or feel fatter.
My parents say I'm an idiot for doing this to myself and I should just eat more - it's simple. But it's not!!! I can't eat without thinking of it as calories that make me fat. Cake has become repulsive even!!
Please help!!!! Anyone else like this? Any advice? Please??

Hey!
OMG. I'm like this too.
I did almost fall into an eating disorder, so those habits ar still with me.
My parents don't get why i won't just 'eat' because i'm skinny and can afford to...
It's like, once your skinny, and in control. You want to stay that way. You don't even crave junk anymore because you 'know the consequences'
It's awful, you make promises to yourself like: i'll start having a biscuit when i'm offered
But when the time comes, you put it off.
Madness.
But your not alone, as long as you ARE eating your recommend calories (which i find easy, so long as it's healthy) then you can think through it all and sort yourself out.
I've even realized that on the days where i eat an extra chocolate or something, i weigh less in the following days?
I have no idea,. But it's a dangerous mindset. Good Luck :) Your not alone x
This is an eating disorder. You need to lookup your recommended daily calorie intake based on your age/height/weight, and accept that's what you should be eating. Exercising is good for anybody, so you can definitely exercise all you want. However, I think you should try exercising in the morning or at the very end of the day, and accept the fact you can eat whatever you want. However, you need to also accept the fact that being underweight is not healthy at all, and that's what path you're currently on.
sounds like an eating disorder. Anorexia. is your BMI lower than 18?
I have anorexia and i count eveyrthing i eat. and i exercise, adn i puke.... but mainly i dont eat at all.
