OK, I lost the weight I wanted to. Now to choose between continuing to diet and seeing how low I can get my weight, or *not* having this turn into a dangerous eating disorder. Hmm. ![omgzokool :zoinks:](http://www.intensitysquared.com/Smileys/default/grinman.gif)
I'd go with the NOT. Remember that starving the body means starving the brain. ![orly? :orly:](http://www.intensitysquared.com/Smileys/default/orlyaa0.gif)
And it will make you unattractive on top of that too.
Then you'll have lost both the brains and the looks.
*nod* I like the difference I see from ten pounds or so heavier to now, but I don't think I could drop more than a couple pounds more before I started to worry about myself. I'm not worried about straight-up body-size-based eating disorder so much as "OK, I need to not make 'being the exact lowest weight I can be before I am no longer at a healthy BMI' a goal because
I am a really effing goal-driven person."
Furtunately I not only don't want to eff myself up but also I think food is yummy so I have that working in my favor too.

I know. Honestly I've been kinnnnda wondering if my depression's been exacerbated by the diety thing the last several months, except I felt just as unhappy when I was overeating all the time.
Also I just looked it up to confirm; depending what chart you look at I can't lose more than 4-6 lbs without going from skinny to medically unhealthy. Iiiii.... am gonna grab some more M&Ms.
