I am a 27 year old athletic female with no children living overseas from my home country. I struggle to find food that I like and hate cooking. I have always had irregular periods but they have become very regular since I have lost the weight. People keep commenting on how skinny I look, but that may be due to the fact that I am in a country where people are very over weight (this place has the highest percentage of Type II diabetes). I think I look great and do not wish to put the weight back on. However, if there are serious health risks, I will make an effort to gain some of it back. It seems that there isn't much information online in determining if I'm underweight, just some questionnaires determining if I binge and purge, which never have, then they tell me that my BMI is too low. If you have any information for me, it would be helpful. I am sick of websites saying, "see your health care provider". The doctors here don't know what they are doing and the health care is not good, especially if you are a woman.
