count your calories, maybe try eating around 2200, weigh yourself every day for two weeks and see if your weight goes down. if it doesn't, decrease calories

your meal amounts are unknown, so we don't know how many calories you're eating. remember, weight loss is not about the foods you eat, it's about the amounts

i should really come clean about something

At the moment i eat under 1000 a day i have an eating disorder the peanut butter is low calories powdered peanut butter and the noodles are skinny noodles and same with the rice , i cant eat anymore than 1000 a day i restrict even lower sometimes i have lost weight this way and its been the only way i can lose weight i have tried other ways to lose weight before but never got any where

so you've tried 1500-2000 calories per day, for two weeks, without losing weight? 1000 calories isn't really healthy or sustainable, just a heads up

[Alexftmuk]

I have a few times tried 1500-2000 for at lest two weeks it trigged me binging , i take vitamins and am vegan , i just very fearful of gaining weight , i know its not healthy or sustainable 1500 even an extra 500 feels too much i know i cant keep doing this its not healthy at all , i have tried to get help for my eating disorder from my dr she just weights me and thats it am in the uk and because my bmi is 36 and not under 16 i cant get any help and i cant afford to pay for treatment....i will try and eat 1500

[AlexSays]

For a 4'1" female (by this I only mean physically and I understand this will hopefully soon change!) body, 1000 calories may not be too low if most of your excess bodyweight is fat (non-metabolic tissue). If it is effective, you don't get overly hungry, are losing 1-2lb per week and you are healthy on this calorie level then I don't see any reason not to stick to it. However if you consider yourself to have an eating disorder I recommend you put any fat loss efforts on hold and speak to a professional about the best way to approach this to avoid unhealthy eating patterns and thought processes.

Good luck and congrats on the change

You need therapy to fix the issues going on in your life. Start there. All the dietary advice on this forum will be of no use before you handle the psychological aspect.

You need professional help and not internet forum opinions. Waaayyy to much to unpack here.
