OMG. You are seriously undereating. You have lost a massive amount of weight very quickly- butI have a feeling your 'stalls' are going to become a lot more common as your body begins to think theres a famine going on. A side-effect of starvation mode is a lack of appetite/hunger. You have no cravings because your body has gone into a survival mode by sending messages to your brain telling you not to feel hungry- the fact that your craving return 'with a vengeance' when you indulge a little is proof of this.
And how on earth do you 'know' you're not doing your body serious damage? Your body NEEDS a certain amount of calories each day to FUNCTION, never mind to do everything else you might do on a regular day.
Whats the hurry anyway? If you're starving yourself to get to your goal, how are you going to survive when you get there- continue starving? Because thats the only way you'll be able to avoid instant weight gain as soon as you start eating 'normally' again.
Please read up on starvation mode, and VLCD's to see the side-effects and harm you could be causing?
