Lost interest in eating

Over the course of around 4 years I have lost 5 stone. I am very much a yo-yo dieter, always stopping and starting. I started back again back in June and have got down to 12 stone, this is still classed as over weight and I want to get down to 10 stone. I feel so much better, have more confidence, it’s really helped my mental health. Problem is, I have no interest in eating. For the past few weeks I can count on my fingers the amount of times I’ve had 3 meals a day. I fill up on coffee and water, rice cakes etc. I know that’s really unhealthy and I don’t want to be like this. The way I am thinking is unhealthy too. I am scared to eat big meals incase I put any weight on and when ever I’ve eaten something like a jacket potato I am annoyed with myself and ask myself why I didn’t just eat an apple or something. As I said I know this isn’t normal thinking. How can I change my mindset?

Just to add, I am in no way bragging and apologise if I offend anyone, I genuinely want advise on how to change it

Are you not losing loads of weight by eating like this though?

@genesis92 I am but I thought it could possibly be dangerous at the same time. I suffer with health anxiety so that’s probably why I feel like this
