You know that if you don't stop losing weight, the next step is DEAD!!!!!!
Is that what you want? It's not like you can keep loosing forever without your body stopping it's ability to function.
If you want to be dead.....then keep on loosing.....if you want to be alive, they you are going to have to change what you want to do & get the help you need to get out of the addiction of loosing weight that you are in.
Loosing weight becomes an addictive behavior. Interesting information from a study I read:

A few sources suggested that anorexics are addicted to fasting, apparently because of the chemical changes brought on by starvation. The opioids, enkephalins and endorphins are found to be at elevated levels in the spinal fluid of patients with anorexia. It is unclear however, whether or not the starving was caused by, or was the cause of, these elevated opioid levels. Some studies have found that drugs which inhibit the functioning of these opioids cause anorexic patients to gain weight.

ED's are quite complex because it's usually not just the sense that you feel overweight when you aren't, but there are usually many other triggers that have been in place before those feelings ever became the normal......they have found like with me, that stress & trauma can cause anorexia......they have even found the people who have gone through miscarriages, & abortions have been the initial cause of the ED's even though in the end it looks like a body image issue.
So you may have a lot more going on inside of your mind than what you are recognizing.
