With in 8 months I had dropped to about 85 lbs. All the time my boyfriend was really worried and kept telling me I need to gain weight.

I don't care about my size, I care about being healthy.  Being overweight or underweight are not good for the body.  There's a difference between being THIN and UNDERWEIGHT. If you still can't control it, I would consider talking to a doctor.  I knew a female when I was younger who's doctor told her that her weight was so little (she wasn't anorexic, just low weight) that it could affect her growth.  Of course, you're older than that, so I suppose you're done with the growing... but it just goes to show that there ARE major concerns associated with body weights that are too low.  I would suggest talking to a doctor so that they can tell you what your ideal weight would be, and maybe they can help you figure out a diet that will give you the calories you need, but will keep you at a healthy weight.
