A woman needs more than a 1000 calories a day. So for starters, you're making yourself very ill and this could affect your future health in terms of fertility and illnesses. You need to find out why you feel this way. Were you bullied at school or is there something else in your past that is really eating away at you. You need to address this because if you continue, your boyfriend will have to leave for his own peace of mind. Think carefully about why you feel this way. You may even need to see a therapist to understand it. Lots of luck.
