I am an 18 year old college going girl. I have been practicing dieting for the past 5-6 months though not currently but not eating as freely as a teenager of this age do. I have become really diet conscious and has started counting calories in each food article I eat and measure the weights of each and every stuff to keep the calorie intake under control because I am afraid of gaining back the same weight. Though due to unhealthy weight loss method that I opted by skipping meals and even had a phase of calorie intake as low as 1200 calories each day I have caused a lot of harm to my body. I am suffering from certain consequences of unhealthy dieting like irregular menstruation, irritable behaviour, and mental stress by constantly thinking when and what to eat next that may have limited calories and is not fattening and planning out excuses for refusals to those who offer me something unhealthy or extra. My parents and me both feel I am psychologically unwell and has lost control over my behaviour and anger and all of us are stressed about this. I now want to have a balanced diet which would not led to obesity and help me in weight management because my weight loss regime has lead to severe fall in my weight which is now just 35 kgs and my height is 5'2".I want my behaviour to be the same as it used to be - jolly, polite and loving. What should I do because now I have become addict of counting calories and measuring weights of each food I eat and has completely cut back the junk food and find it difficult to attend social gatherings. Please help asap because I want to recover from this addiction and be carefree and manage a normal weight at the same time and keep my mind on track so that I can focus better on my studies and lead a successful life.
