[EDIT 2/4/2009: I relapsed, got down to 78 pounds. I'm in the hospital now and will be discharged in 2 months or so. I can't wait to start lifting again. My pictures are the best motivation for me to get healthy again.]
I was a gymnast for twelve years, and from a young age I was always dreaming of having more muscle. I was recently hospitalized with anorexia for three months, and when I was discharged I happened to pick up the current issue of Oxygen Magazine. I was absolutely fascinated with the women in the magazine, and enrolled my Dad, a former bodybuilder, to train me.
Why I Love It:
I love lifting because it empowers me in a way that I haven't felt in years. Anorexia was so debilitating psychically, mentally, and emotionally, and bodybuilding has quickly filled that void.
How I Stay Motivated:
I think right now I'm a bit TOO motivated.

I've continued to lift weight six days a week but I made the mistake of stepping on the scale a few days ago - I've gained 4 pounds since my discharge from the hospital three weeks ago. I've had some shitty days with eating [or lack there of] but I'm determined to get back on track. I can't...
