how does that even work? the psyllium will give you enough fibre for a bowel movement, but what if there is nothing to move? Will it move even more air/farts?
You would have to be 5'3 or less not to be underweight at 7.5 stone, and tbh even if you were 5'3 and at the very bottom of the healthy weight range, you would look like a child.
what is the point of a goal which you already contemplate failing to achieve? Failure (which seems inevitable - and, perhaps, sensible) seems likely to impact self esteem. That will result in a less responsible approach to the anxiety and comfort eating/drinking will result. You will start to gain wait quicker than the psyllium husks were able to shed it for you and you will begin to hate that but the hate will result in doubling down on the chocs, cheese, wine and pasta. A new wardrobe will be bought, literally to accommodate this. That significant spend will carry a further dose of unhappiness. Then plastic surgery will be the next step. Looking like a starched duck, you will bounce back into the world but be met by no greater esteem from others than was previously on offer, and less from yourself. This will make for a cross face and, as they say, by the time you're 40 you'll get the face you deserve, yet it won't be as fresh as it was when first sculpted. You will know that they know that you know that they know that you know you're unhappy and don't feel attractive. Wine will give way to vodka, chocolate to anti-depressants and one day they will find you, curiously positively buoyant floating in an overflowing hotel bath gakked up to your plasticised eyelids and showing no signs of life. By then, though, you will have reached the magic "7.5" so all will be well. You won't have died in vain.
ALTERNATIVELY
be at home with your beauty and physical state. I don't know who you are but I bet you're absolutely gorgeous and great. Have a bit of chocolate and some chips to celebrate.
This sort of posting from Judy is concerning. The idea that food is the enemy and not looking at things in terms of nourishment, enjoyment...it's echoed by women all over the place. How dangerous to think that inherent in her brain is the idea that she is not good enough so she has to remove all the things out of her food and drink that she actually enjoys in order to make herself thin enough to feel like she's worthy enough. This isn't balance, it isn't healthy. It's bloody weird and it's dangerous. Just eat a little of what you fancy, it's good for the soul. Get outside, walk, run, enjoy just having a body that can do lots of exercise and things. It's good for the brain. And you'll end up with a proper hunger as opposed to just eating food out of mere habit.
I am being healthy and also want to eat all of the food. Sure, I can have all of the fish and vegetables and other healthy things but my body is going through sugar/fat withdrawal. And it sucks.
Good luck, meh. I am on a similar course, to lose a stone or so that has crept on since november. Cutting out the crap is a good start and I agree that once you lose the taste for it, it just doesnt taste good. Getting to that point is hard, though, especially in the winter.
Judo my love, this will not make you happy. There are more moderate ways of controlling your weight if you need to (and I don't believe that you do having seen you not that long ago).
What Nex said. Hardly seems compatible with getting up the duff either. Invest in some therapy. It’ll be healthier and probably cheaper in the long run.

typical convo:
female goes: "I am GOING TO lose quazillions of pounds of weight eating absolutely nothing!"
crowd: "no, that is not healthy! you will be TOO THIN"
female: "Oh but I so want to be thin - I used to be that thin!"
crowd: "Yesbut nobut"

Detoxes are bullshit. Your liver detoxes your body for you as a matter of course.
Have you ever been diagnosed with body dysmorphia?!

Body dysmorphia is best described as a ratio, where the ratio sign is the mirror

At my adult height, I once weighed 9 stone 3 lbs. This was due to serious illness.
The attention I got from the opposite sex was unbelievable. Soon faded as I put the pounds back on.
Might not work so well now in my seventh decade.

I agree with what the others said, I think you have gone for the wrong solution. I think you should become a ninja. Many advantages:
1. Plenty of exercise, think of all the calories you will burn leaping from rooftop to rooftop and slinking through the shadows;
2. All black costume - slimming;
3. You meet all sorts of interesting people (albeit only briefly if you're any good);
4. International travel;
5. You'll develop a handy set of skills for the post-Brexit era.
