I know for me, stress is a very contributing factor to my extreme weight losses. It isn't the body image stress however....it's just life stresses. First time I got down to 83 lbs before getting help. Then just a 3 years ago when I was going through the stress with my Mother dying of cancer & the ID theft involved, my weight dropped to 93 before my Dr put me into the hospital for IV nurtition.

Stress makes me feel sick & not able to eat because I don't like feeling sick. There are times now where my stress is back up high & I'm finding that I am again loosing weight that I don't have to loose.....the scales are creeping down again.

I understand what you are dealing with, but I have found that if I just fix food & eat a few bites now & then throughout the day, it helps keep food in my body because I just can't eat much at a time without feeling ill. I don't do the bulimic thing cause I hate getting sick.....so I just don't eat when I feel that way.

Take care....you are the only one that can control your eating..that is one thing I have learned & I'm 54 years old.
