Lost Weight and Concerned

Ahhhh I am sooooo tired of this and doing strange things like this to my self all the time....no matter how well I do and gain I always go back to thinner=better and lose lots of weight....

anyway during the summer I was like in the high 140's and looked and felt good (and was eating normally) although I was exercising a lot too (like 8 miles a day)....I went back to school and started eating almost all of my calories at night....I eat generally all of the other things I used to eat except instead of dinner I'll eat something completely unhealthy like a huge muffin, piece of cake, etc.....I have realized that I pretty much cut out meat and am again eating carb crap and fruit.....I also only exercise 3 days a week now (4 miles at a time b/c I don't have time)....my weight has since dropped to 133 (where I am now)....all sort sof people are saying I am too thin. I know I lost weight, but don't see it personally that much and honestly am sometimes happy I dropped some weight....but I am also scared....I don't know where this is leading and know this behavior is messed up....I am also EXTREMELY stressed with school, maybe that caused a loss? It is weird b/c I significantly cut out exercising, so you would think eating the same amount of cals I would gain if anything....could cutitng the exercise out have actually caused a LOSS too? I am just trying to figure this out...my intentions were not to cause this/.....

I don't know what to do...I mean technically i am not underweight, right (I am 133 5'7'' 21 y/o male now).....please help anyone.....I really don't get why I

If people are saying you're too thin then listen to them.  You don't have to be clinically underweight to start looking gaunt or ill.  If you're stressed and you're not eating properly that can quickly lead to malnutrition ... and malnutrition can make you look 'pale and thin' rather than 'toned and slim'.

What to do.... address the problem directly.  If stress at school is a big part of the issue then find ways to overcome the stress.  Get extra tuition.  Talk to friends and family about how you're feeling.   Ask for help.

You've lost weight very simply because you're not eating what you burn up.  You're almost certainly undereating even though it feels like you're not....skipping breakfast or lunch will do that.  So map out a good eating day and try going with that. You're going to need 3000 cals+ to regain the weight so think it through carefully so that you're choosing energy-dense, nutrition-dense foods in the shape of three square meals & some snacks.  5-a-day fruit and vegetables, some wholegrains, some lean meat or fish.  Start early with a good breakfast (no more skipping meals) and aim to eat a good-sized meal or energy-dense snack every 2 hours after that.

If you improve your diet and get regular meals you'll find that also helps your state of mind.  Regular, good quality nutrition has a positive effect on your brain.  If you can't increase your intake for whatever reason, consider talking to your doctor.

thanks....yea I read your post...stepped back....took a deep breath....I will simply eat more....today for example I had a cliff bar and plan to eat a NORMAL dinner in addition to a little larger breakfast, lunch, etc....I'll see what this week brings....

I mean I am not necessarily looking to gain (I am still not underweight and really don't look that bad)....I mean a few lbs would be nice I guess.....I just don't want to lose anymore...so as long as that stops I would be fine....

I also think I am going to finally go see someone....this weight cycling....even though like only 10-15 lbs about is really taking a toll on me....I can't go on like this anxiety all the time...I knwo it's not healthy

You probably just need to work a little on getting a regular eating pattern and sufficient nutrition/energy.  Giving mealtimes priority and filling those mealtimes with good, nourishing choices.  I'll post you a link to a 'Depression Relief Diet'.. not because I think you have depression but because it illustrates how good/poor food choices can enhance or depress mood and how even mild malnutrition can have a negative effect on anxiety levels and your ability to cope with stress.
