Will you get skinny? Yes. Is it healthy? No. You already know all this. One problem you may or may not have considered is what this type of diet does to your body in the long run. Eating too few calories can mess up your metabolism for YEARS, and I'm sure you know how important a good metabolism is for dream bodies. Get help talking to your doctor about how thin you can be while still being healthy. He or she may recommend things you have not yet considered, and trust me, you will be more attractive in the long run, as opposed to slowly gaining awkward weight in bad places as you age.

    If you wish to die then go right ahead. Do you realize that the reason it's unhealthy is because your body uses fat and carbs for energy. When it uses all that up it eats up your muscle, and eventually your organs...ya that's right....your heart, liver, brain, intestines, etc. It causes irreversible damage. You will regret it so much later in life, if you even make it far because if you continue to be like that you will get really sick and eventually die. You are a great weight for your height. Stick with it. Mary-Kate Olson looks disgusting. No ones thinks she's attractive. No guy wants to date a skeleton. There's is a certain point where you won't get skinnier anymore and you'll just get sicker and sicker. Smarten up and go eat something or you're gonna die...and I'm not exaggerating.

    Yes it would make u skinny but it will also stop your period give you hear problems and many other things. U need a lot more calories then that. U need them to survive honey. And its a very unhealthy thing to do and you should care. Its your body. And you could ruin your chance of having kids ( if u ever want any) U could also kill your self after months or years of doing so. And thats unhealthy skinny and most guys find skinny like that unattractive just so u know.

    Yes it probably will get you skinny but it is also very unhealthy, you could damage you body and it could affect you in later life including your fertility. Although you have probably heard all that before.
    I definately would not recommend it, you should maybe go back to your doctor if your still having issues with your weight?

    no. don't eat 300-500 calories a day, because that won't do you any good.

    i an 5'3'' and 103 lbs.
    my friends and everyone in school thinks im anorexic.
    and im not.
    i just dont eat a lot.
    but im not on a diet either. [well, kinda.]
    i used to be 90 something lbs.
    then i started eating.
    and gained a lot of weight.

    but im starting a new diet with at least 1,000 calories a day or more.
    and exercise.
    if you do that you'll see weight loss in i dont know how many weeks but i hope it should work.

    No, sweetheart. 300-500 calories will not be good for you. You need to consume at least 1500 calories and increase your caloric output (exercise).

    Your body needs at least 1500 calories to function...anything less will put you in harms way of major organ malfunction.

    5'5 and 118 is a VERY healthy weight. Wanting to be less sounds like you might have a body image disorder. See a psychologist, please!

    I don't think you'll get skinny, just kinda gangly and ill-looking with your hair falling out and stuff.
    You might end up in hospital too while everyone pays for your treatment and your family and friends suffer from the crap you'll put them through,
    but it's ok, because you don't care,
    so neither do we.

    Being skinny is not the bad thing, but being too skinny is. That weight is unhealthy and may even cost you your life. It is not worth it. What fun is it to be skinny and too weak to enjoy life. Try not to fall back into the same routine if you can. If it is hard for you please talk to some one.

    it sounds unhealthy because it IS unhealthy. you need to eat at least 1200 calories just to stay alive. you are an excellent weight for your height and don't need to lose an ounce! as far as I'm concerned you already are skinny.

    This won't help you at all. You're already perfect the way you are. By eating like this, you make actually get worse. And i don't only mean that you'll be weak, or barely be able to stand, but sometimes if you eat too little you may get what i call "tires" around your belly. I heard that skinny or non-overweight (if that's a word) people with "tires" have more chance of dying of a cardio-vascular disease. I say you should just eat right and stay how you are right now. Just so you know, if you're doing this to get a guy's attention, believe me it'll work but in the wrong way.They may say "Damn look at that skinny girl she looks like a toothpick." Guys don't really like girls who are too skinny and/or bony. We like a little cushion for the pushin' if you get my drift. But I nor anybody else can make you do or not do anything you want. All I can say is: The choice is yours.

    Eating 300-500 calories a day and weighing 90 lbs at a height of 5'5 will not make you skinny, it will make you anorexic. You wont look like Beckham or Mary-Kate, you will look like an ugly shriveled prune. You already know how unhealthy this is but you will also look really bad. Your weight right now if perfectly fine, dont try to become underweight because its VERY unattractive and VERY unhealthy. Just stay with the weight you have and if you have an eating disorder then try to get some help. Its good that you went from 80 lbs to 118, which shows that you have control over your disorder, but dont let it control you.

    Good luck, I'm sure that you look fine and if you feel uncomfortable with the way you look then post a picture of yourself, perhaps all you need is a little reassurance=)

    PS: Victoria Beckham and Mary-Kate Olsen are very attractive but they dont weight 80 lbs! If they did then they would be horribly ugly, trust me anoriexic girls are EXTREMELY unattractive.

    Ever heard of Isabelle Caro? She is a woman with anorexia. Be the judge for yourself, is she attractive?

    http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2007/09/isa…

    Below is a link to Mary-Kate Olsen. She had some trouble with anorexia but such a beautiful woman would never risk her looks with such an eating disorder. She has gotten help and maintains a reasonable weight.

    Honestly, you sound like you should be seeing a counselor. You are still anorexic if you are doing this.

    If you have had an eating disorder for three years, your metabolism has more than likely slowed down a ton and your body is in starvation mode. You will hold onto any food that you eat because your body doesn't know if it is going to get food again or not. You will NOT get skinny by doing this, and if I may say so you are ALREADY SKINNY judging by the measurements you listed.

    I had an eating disorder for five years, and I still struggle with it daily. It is not worth it, please get help.
