Better Body Goals-Accountability Thread

[Mermaid Oshun]

I know exactly what she means about feeling dead but alive and having to do everything in a wheelchair. I was recently on a 500 calorie diet and did not have enough strength to stand up and walk to the bathroom some days. I felt as if I was dying and I know it was totally unhealthy. When I lost a few pounds and stopped the diet I still felt deadly weak and could barely walk. There was nothing beneficial about losing that weight at all. I totally felt less healthy, more ill and as if I was dying even after I was off the diet. My body was telling me it NEEDS to be a little fuller for me to have enough energy to be mobile. I did not have any strength to even walk outside or stand up for more than a few minutes until I gained the weight back. So now I am back over size 14 but at least I can stand up, walk around and feel alive.
