Dear Indigo, congratulations on dealing with the excessive weight challenge!

I am worried that it could be taken too far if caloric intake is not increased. There was a period of my life when I went down to skin and bone. People thought I was going to get really sick. Fortunately I got help and started eating a high protein diet. The high protein diet did not pack on the weight, but I stabilized and over time got back to a healthy appearance.

I am really sorry to hear you feel so bad about eating. The fear of getting over weight can sometimes cause people to undereat and keep losing weight. This can be a very serious situation. I respect your right to a good looking body but am concerned that if you keep on this intake, serious problems could occur. Maybe what your nutritiionist says could be adapted or modified to your situation.

We need dedicated people like you that can face their situation and deal with the excesses of too much or too little weight. The middle road is the safest one.
