Hel-low Guys!!

Hi my names Liz I am 18 years old 5'7 and 175 lbs. atm.

My highest weight was 200lbs. I lost around 25 pounds on stupid diets that would only work for so long. I stated in my other thread that I had an eatind disorder. Thats how I mostly lost all 25 lbs of my weight. But I don't like feeling deprived anymore I want to eat, not that I love to eat, but I want to. I am sick of not having any energy in the school day or when I go to work. It was horrible.


I would wake up at 5 and go to the gym til 7 then school til 3, then work. Repeat...
My max calorie intake was 200 - 300 calories per day.

I usually ate two bowls of cereal; 1 in the morning 1 in the evening, and I took two diet pills, loads of green tea, and different tecs on getting my metabolism high. It was hard....I was so disgusting looking, I was pale, I looked worn out, I lost the weight no doubt, but when I wanted to binge I did and I lost all my hard work.


So I promised myself and my body a change. I started looking at my body not as my enemy "what I used to do" but as a friend. I starting acting like it was another person in a weird sort of way. I recently started hugging my body and telling "her" its going to be okay. I feel pretty bad about how I abused her for so long. I feel like she is a terrified animal whose been through the worst "which is kinda true". I wanted to make it up to her.

So I think that the most important way to lose weight is for the two of us to come together and walk it through together.

Sorry if I sound weird by the last paragraphs, its really one of the ways I was coping with anorexia.

Hi Angel,

I am glad you found your way (through your own strong will and motivation) and made a much healthier choice. The problem is we all wanna lose all the weight as in yesterday, but it really won't change who we are whether or not we are thin or not. I am sure you will be a great success and I can see that you know what is healthy for your body. I'm 30 (but my mind is that of a 18 year old) and believe me if you believe nothing else - you truelly only have 1 body!!!!! and you do not want it to fail you.

Good for you for losing the weight you wanna loose the healthy way -you will feel great while doing it this way and great for knowing that you are not doing anything harmful to your one and only body.

You are a great inspiration for all young (and old) people!!! So glad you found your way!
