My struggles with anorexia athletica part 2
I'm at the point of my life were I've had two babies close in age and now I have a lot of extra weight that I just can't stand. I don't expect to be 118lbs but I do want to be 20lbs lighter.
I reweighed myself to find I'm weighing in at 150lbs. My old scale was reading wrong so it was devastating to see and hell ya it's temping to want to start eating less and exercising like crazy but I know it's not right and I need to treat my body properly. After all it graced me with two of the most precious gifts.
Gaining weight was a sacrifice, it taught me what's really important. Unfortunately not all women get that reality check, for some women it will always be about that number on the scale.
I remember when I would go out with friends and they would ask why I wasn't hungry or why I didn't want to eat or did I have a problem and I would just say I wasn't hungry. I remember having such negative thoughts while they were just trying to help, just trying to be a real friend.
Real friends ask the tough questions and can be "too" bold but it's because they care. Fake friends are the ones that look away.
I may be heavier then I would like to be but I won't let that define me. I will get healthier and I will be aware of the fine line I could cross.
Remember to eat a good amount of calories you can check health charts to figure out how much you should be consuming. Also be careful how much you exercise as there is such thing as too much. I hope you found this blog insightful if you struggle with a disorder I recommend you seek help and if you know someone with a disorder just be there for them in the best way you can.
