Hello Everyone , my name is Alexa am from Edinburgh , Scotland where i live with my husband and my cat , i have mental health issues due to Schizophrenia . PTSD and Eating disorder BED for most of my life ,until last year when i start restricting to 800 calories a day

i know its very unhealthy to eat that low amount , i have tried to get help for my eating disorder but because am obese , not under 17 bmi i cant get help and if i try and get help for my obesity i have to be over BMI 50 am not dietetic so i can't see a diction and i cant afford to pay for one , as i am on disability for my mental health and i cant afford to pay one .

Going to a gym until the money and i sometimes need help get into some weights etc i have a treadmill from home and weights no leg weights but can get really cheap ones from the supermarket but only weight we have the money my husband cannot work as i need him with me all the time he don't like gyms he can help me get on things but my support worker cant and i also have
dyspraxia which is A Developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD) so am clumsy as hell .

i have been eating under 800 calories a day for the last year or so , i have to take anti psych meds for my mental health as i hear voices and see things the medication can make you feel hungry all the time i also have polysemic ovaries and i sometimes feel dishearten or down because of my weight due to trauma myself esteem is awful

, there are times when i have take out pizza once a month as i watch PPV WWE

am also vegan and Buddhist and very small bars of chocolate 35 gram once a week
am 4"11 79KGS and am unsure of my bmi i drink mostly diet soda ( cream soda ) my husband is also my full-time carer , and i have a support worker who i see for 4 hours a week to give my husband a break my husband is worried that doing this would make my Eating disorder worse because of weighting myself and looking at macros and calories and exercise but i want to get healthy and look after myself better

Avalily welcome to TID.

Thanks for giving us a little background history. I can sense your pain and frustration, very disheartening. But there is a lot awesome people who can help you get closer to your goals if your willing to listen and consider all info.

First off everyone's going to agree your calorie intake is too low and it probably lacks adequate protien. Can you lay out your diet here?

Also the training route your following now?

4'9" 79kg (175lb) is obese? I don't think you're that far from being fit. Losing 50lb will do wonders for you. Could be alot worse as far as your weight goes.
