But is the goal weight based on something scientific, or just 'what you're comfortable at'? Anorexics often have unreasonable 'goal weights' or body image, too.
It's what I'm comfortable at and perfectly within the healthy weight range for my height. And I may discover during this process that 5 pounds is all I really want/need to lose to be content. If so, great! If not I keep going until I reach 10 and then that's it.
I don't think you really are anorexic, but I *am* worried that your goal weight isn't necessarily a *healthy* weight for you, no matter what your 'goal' is.
I have spent some time in the not too distant past (i.e. part of last year) at my goal weight, I'm willing to bet you didn't even notice the difference, right? I noticed in the way my clothes fit and my overall happiness with my body.
I've seen you in a bikini, now. :) I think you look slender and healthy, without the lollipop look of the too thin, concave bellies of the modeling world.
And I thank you for that, but I don't feel happy at this weight. I can't move the way I want to, I feel a bit bloated and my clothes don't fit right. It's just an experience thing, I know where I should be and when I overindulge my weight goes up, now I need to be a little more strict and it'll come back down again.
