Q: Am I eating too few calories - about 500?
I am pushing myself to eat around 500 calories a day plus I am exercising at least 30 minutes a day.
I weigh 74 kgs and I am 5 feet 2 inches tall.
I push myself to exercise 5 minutes more every day or I am not happy.
I stress out if I do not lose a pound every couple of days.
I weigh everything and look up the calorie count and I just seem to be consumed by this desire to lose weight.
Up until a month ago I was binge eating and this seeemed to change gradually.
I have been feeling very depressed lately.
Can anyone tell me what is happening?
