When I Started:
Jun, 2007
How I Started:
I had struggled with an eating disorder for 14 years. I had relapsed again, was at a really low weight, and knew I couldn't continue the way I was going. I reluctantly picked up a set of dumbells for the first time, then quickly became hooked. I'm up 20 lbs and actually have a better body image than I ever have.
Why I Love It:
Huge improvement in self-esteem and much less rigid with food intake.
How I Stay Motivated:
BB Accomplishments:
Forum Signature:
Moving up from skinny to fit---and I've gained 20 lbs in the process. Most importantly, I'm actually okay with that :).
When I was really sick with anorexia. I weighed about 80 lbs in all the "before" pictures that are in my profile. My lowest weight was 67 lbs as a teenager, I don't have any pictures from that time, but I was even more emaciated than what is in these pictures. Frightening!
I somehow injured my upper back, in the area right between the shoulder blades. I woke up in the middle of the night and turned the wrong way and all of the sudden felt excruciating pain. I ended up not being able to go back to sleep for quite a while after that, but finally managed to out...
