is maintaining a slightly UW BMI still restricting?
Post Body

i've been maintaining a BMI between 16.8 - 17.2 for almost 3 years and have been eating around 1500-1600 on most days to maintain. sometimes i go over or under but i can NOT handle restriction for weight loss anymore because missing a single meal makes me dizzy and shaky and feel like my body is falling apart. i feel "recovered" because most of the time i'm not really worried about calories and i eat whatever i want but just control the amount. but at the same time i still feel flashes of really intense self hatred sometimes. am i delulu or is this acceptably healthy?

Comments

My scenario is about the same, I feel recovered and my labs are in the normal range, so if anything I feel like I’m not doing enough. I don’t deprive myself but I don’t not deprive myself
