That is nothing. You're meant to eat at least 1,200 per day! AT LEAST. I know that illnesses like this are hard to get over though. It takes forever it seems like. It's been 3 1/2 years since I did anything like that and I still struggle with it every single day. Just do something to remind yourself that you are lovely and wonderful and deserve nourishment.

I'm pretty much the same height and weight as you, and you are thin, I can tell you know this, but just keep reminding yourself you are healthy as you are.

Talk to your parent(s). Talk to a therapist. Talk to an adult you're close to, or an older sibling.
