Well, first off, good for you for loosing the 16lbs.
In your post you said you would "do anything" to get to a normal weight.
Here's some advice, you can take it or leave it.
Go see a profesional for some help. You are not alone in this situation. There many who have the same problem and get help.
I for one, cannot help you but would love to, unfortuanately I am not trained for that. Please try eating healthy food, regularly, and don't feel guilty for eating. try exercising a little bit.
Here is a link that might help you.

Please go talk to a professional so they may help you as you seem so determined to lose weight, but if you don't do so in a healthy manner it won't matter anyway. If you don't eat enough to sustain the energy levels your body needs, it will react by chiseling away at your muscle andyou will have less and less energy. Hugs and well wishes!
