You don't say how tall you are but 8 and a bit stone is very very light. Unless you are 4 foot then I really don't think you are fat. The reason you can't lose anymore weight could well be that you've lost all the fat you can, and now you are eating into muscle and bone density.

The fact you are so down and are doing extreme things like taking pills and thinking of starving yourself says to me you may be developing an eating disorder.
Why not go and have a chat with your GP about everything. He will be able to tell you if you do need to lose weight, or if you need help with confidence and self esteem instead.
Please don't waste any more money on diet pills either. They are very dangerous or they are basically just chalk and do nothing.
Good Luck!! xx
