A few months ago, I went into a bad depression that lasted for 2 months straight, which sparked up a bout of anorexia...

.At one point in time I was losing 1.5lbs a day! I went from 150 to 120 by the end of the 2 months (I'm 5' 1")...
& I was happy w/ it...For the first time in my life, my legs didn't rub together, my cheekbones showed, clothes that didn't even fit me when I bought them fit!!! My hair was a little more brittle than usual & I aquired 24/7 RLS symptoms, but that was tolerable for the good it did...
& I don't heal easily from "the burn" exercise causes, & I'm too poor to afford healthy food, so I found it to be a great system...

My fiance started giving me more affection, but eventually he & others started implying that I look gross..

After a weekend at a friends house that made me happy, I started eating again. Now (3 months later) I'm 140lbs & just wore away the inner thigh area of my favourite jeans. My fiance rarely looks at me & I, personally-based, feel gross...

It's not healthy, but now I'm starting the diet that initially helped induce my anorexia before...

So, questions/comments/advice?

I just kinda had to post this somewhere bcuz no one I know even attempts to understand...

First of all, I don't know if I'd call that a "bout of anorexia".  Anorexia isn't quite the same as clinical depression.  It doesn't just exist it fits that come and go.  That's not to say you didn't have disordered eating (probably happening as a result of your depression), but I'd be hesitant to call these "bouts of anorexia".

As for your situation, I think you need to find a routine that is healthy.  120 lb is a perfectly healthy weight for someone who is 5'1", but you need to get there in a way that isn't destructive.

If you were starving yourself, there is a good chance you put the weight back on quickly because you completely messed up your metabolism while doing so.  When the body senses that it's starving, it slows the metabolism and preserves calories that it does get.

Try eating more fruits, veggies and lean meats, and work some exercise into your lifestyle.  I think you'll feel a lot better mentally and physically, and it won't be detrimental to your health.

Finally, if your fiancee's only treating you well when you're depressed buy skinny, there is a serious issue in the relationship that you need to take another look at.  If his whole attraction to you is based on a 30lb difference, I'm not sure his heart is in the right place.

Your fiancee is obviously just a dick, you don't need people like that in your life.

if he loves you enough to want to marry you, he should love you if you're 100 lb, or 400 lb.

To be anorexic you have to actually be underweight. (Stupid but true) You are I guess EDNOS. I think you definitely have a Eating disorder of some kind. Your focus was on food and loosing weight, you weren't not eating just because you felt depressed so don't take this the wrong way. Just info bro.

you think maybe your fiancee actually gives you more affection when you seem happier, and not when you weigh less?

First of all you need better cloths and you need a better man and you need to only cut out fat from your diet,not all food.
All starving yourself does is kill you.
