I've been dealing with this for a while now. I used to be quite slender, but I was a dancer, so it wasn't good enough. I stopped eating for a time (specifically, until the combination of no food and an overactive life with multiple daily workouts caused me to collapse) and got even thinner. It worked, until I needed to eat again.
Then, I dealt with binging and purging. I would eat to deal with stress and an assortment of other emotions. It was a hideout from the life I had. Needless to say, I gained a ton of weight, and ruined my metabolism in the process.
I've tried a lot of different diets and exercise routines since, but nothing seems to work for very long. I will spend months being super careful and only lose 2 or 3 pounds. It frustrates me, so I stop bothering.
Perhaps keeping this up will help me to remind myself of all my accomplishments, and the other benefits. And if any of you have any suggestions for having been in similar situations, I would love to hear them. =)
