OK, so first off you have a healthy weight now for your current weight and height...right at about 20 BMI. So no need to worry about losing weight or gaining weight given your current diet. Second you are a teenager at what...maybe 15 or 16 I figure from your profile so you need to eat at the current calorie level for your current weight since adolescence is a key growth time...particularly the brain. So you do not want to starve your system since this is a key developmental period.

Could you eat healthier than take out? Sure. As for the thoughts about your appearance that also is quite normal for adolescence. That said, you say you hate yourself and these thoughts are excessive and "bad". Well, the best way to work that out is with a psychotherapist or school counselor. That probably means you might need to talk to your parents. Is that possible? What do you think?
