Losing weight unhealthily?
I know unhealthy is never the right path, but I've been struggling with this for months now. And if I'm looking for help, please don't reply. Because I'm changing health insurance, I have to wait until I can go back to therapy.
Well, I'd say I binge all the time. I can control myself for 3-4 days; I barely eat anything at all (around 100-200 calories a day), then I binge and gain back all the weight I lost. Then for the next 2 days I kept consuming 2,000 calories a day because of birthdays and such. Today I surprised my girlfriend with homemade brownies, but of course I couldn't control myself and ate almost half myself. And I also ate a pretty high-calorie meal before hand. I'd estimate it at 2,000 calories today again. And now I've lost almost 2 pounds again. For the next few days I only wanted to consume a maximum of 1-200 calories.
I understand that you'll gain weight again due to the yo-yo effect. But why am I losing 1 kilo again today even though I ate too much…
I know losing weight takes time, but I can't keep it up for that long. I need to see results, and so far, I've been doing it. I lost 7-8 kilos last month and now I want to get down from 66.5 to 60 kilos, so I'm just above "underweight" according to "WHO."
Can I consume 1-200 calories a week and 1000 each on Saturday and Sunday? Or will that cause problems again?

With 2000 calories you didn't eat that much, but you have a slight calorie deficit because your daily needs are even higher.
Apart from that you should not lose 1g because your weight for your size is already low.
And yes you have an eating disorder but not eating things. Because one reacts with eating attacks if one does not even give his body the most necessary of calories so that he can get you alive is simply logical consequence. And that would happen to you if you took 1000 calories to you on Saturdays or on weekends because you are still far below your basic sales and even more below your daily needs.
And if you really think because I have to lose very low weight, a therapy with the psychologist would be the better idea.
and thus you have a healthy (ideal) normal weight. Every further attempt with up to 200 kcal every day is sick and leads to an eating disorder.
I also understand that this should be my “ideal” weight. I was always overweight and am not satisfied with myself as long as I am still in the upper part of the “normal weight”
