Name: kamala [ Original Post ] Hi everybody! I am 25 years old female & seeing a psychologist but struggling to get past BMI of 15. She keeps telling me she can't force me to do anything. I'm not sure what she means exactly. She says she can't force me to gain weight but I'm still afraid if I don't gain more weight she will admit me to hospital. What my goal is is to get to a low enough BMI that just keeps me out of hospital & not get past this weight. So my question is if I got my BMI up so 16 would this be enough to keep me out? ↓

i highly doubt it because you are not of a healthy state of mind and i sure that your doctor would realize that you are not working towards the correct goal. i hope that you are able to get healthy ↑
