I don't meet all the criteria for an eating disorder, but I have an intense fear of gaining weight. I live off 0-300 calories per day, and feel guilty every time I eat. I want to be thinner. My BMI is 17.9. People tell me I look underweight and unhealthy, but I still want to lose weight. Should I be concerned? Should I look into therapy?

     Hello dear behappynow and a big WARM WELCOME to Psych Central and all of the great things it has to offer, of which you'll find as time goes by. I very much understand your issue and could I say 'frustration' regarding having a definite ED, yet in your eyes you don't appear to be very thin. I've had all of the various eating disorders over the last 30 plus years. I was hospitalised a number of times in the beginning as I did loose copious amounts of weight and I volentarilly went into hospital. Five years ago I was officially diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder which is a nightmare to say the least and I'm also diagnosed 'atypical' anorexia. This means that I fit every one of the various criteria for anorexia, yet don't weigh way below the average for my height (which is very short at 4' 11"!) I find it almost anger making that I almost starve, or restrict severely to get, or stay thin, yet I hate that I cant get as thin as I want to. You certainly sound very much like me hunny. If you ever need to talk or rant/vent, PLEASE do message/private message me and I WILL reply. LOVE and HUGS. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
