Please, I need desperate help getting skinny again

[Colten]

I'm not sure where to post this since I just signed up for this forum, so if it's in the wrong place, I'm really sorry!

I am trying to get skinny, like ultra near anorexic skinny. I'm currently 5'9, 165, I used to be 135 just last year, but I took a phone job and that wrecked havoc on my body!

I'm trying to get back to 135, but nothing seems to work! My previous job was as a server, and I was burning so many calories a day it was really easy to stay leveled at 135 without any real effort (seriously, your server works their butt off!)

I miss my thigh gaps, smooth stomach and being able to see my hip bones. I always felt I looked normal, never "too skinny", but I need to get back to that weight.

Honestly, being so heavy is causing me massive anxiety, and I'm having a really difficult time with it. I'll stop eating for 3 days then binge out for a day and then stop eating again. I know that this is ultra unhealthy, but I'm getting desperate! I know it's getting more erratic, and out of control, which is why I'm now asking for help.

I'm just looking for some advice! Are there pills that will suppress my appetite? A meal plan I can follow to get skinny? I don't want advice like "love your body" or "You're skinny enough". I can't stop thinking about how to get skinny again. I will do anything. I want to be super model slender....

So look. Stop for a second. Breathe. Pause the harsh judgment. And most importantly calm down. Panicking and thinking in extremes is only going to net you more frustration. That you want to go back to where you were is ok... it's understandable. But you need to think rationally about this.

Your life changed... big time. You went from expending a lot of energy to little... relatively speaking. Without a change in how much you eat or additional exercise... of course you were going to gain weight. It's logical. If energy in outweighs energy expended... weight is gained over time.

Why would starving yourself for days on end, amassing huge amounts of deprivation and hunger, and then bingeing help this normal situation that you're trying to deal with. If you burned your finger on a hot pan... I wouldn't spray you down with a firehose!!

Feel me?

I've been coaching a long time and tough love here... you're on the fast track toward an eating disorder with your obsession, eating patterns, and panic.

You can totally reverse the weight. But only if you're willing to, again, calm down, and take a more realistic and gentle approach to this.
