Hey guys,
I just wanted to let people know how I am doing. If you didn't read my original discussion, I basically said that I was 87/88 pounds and 5'3. I shared how I lost weight due to being lonely and anxiety. Many people expressed how I was dangerous thin and that I needed help immediately. Since that post, I have seen a dietitian, a doctor, and a counselor. They are now helping me work my way up to healthy weight. Also my doctor did various blood work and everything is healthy. Lastly, I have found friends in my town to help ease my loniless. In other words, I am doing much better. I currently weigh about 90 pounds, which means I still have a long way till I reach my doctor's goal of 110 pounds. Even though it is overwhelming, I am happy to be on the right path. Any words of wisdom? If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Count me as a friend half a world away. An added bonus if you have any social anxiety, is I won't show up at your doorstep unexpectedly.7

As someone with severe social anxiety this made me laugh. The warmest joke I've seen in a long time!
To OP, well done! Amazing you've managed to get cracking on nipping this in the bud early on. Good luck with continued progress.1 -

That's good news. I hope you continue to have success with your loss.0

That is wonderful! (I read your other thread but had nothing new to add.)
I find it helpful to make easily achievable smaller goals. That way it doesn't seem as overwhelming. Plus I find it motivating to succeed. For example you could set a goal to go out to for ice cream or dessert every week. Ice cream has delicious calories and it will get you will spend more time out and about.2 -
@Hannahrose888 Well done on the progress ! .. I have been an ectomorph for over 25 years , I was at 105LBS @ 5'10 when I started , over the 4 years I have gained 40 pounds , I am now at 145LBS and still aiming another 15LBS.
You can do this & all you have to do is keep your workouts on as this is the trigger for your muscle growth & metabolic drive & be at calorie surplus at all time, at this point of time Fat & Carbs are your best friends ! Cheer!m!

Well done! Slow in the right direction is very good progress, you have time, and bodies can only add or lose a little at a time. When you get to around 100lb, I bet you will notice you feel better in your mood. It's all connected, you know?
Thank you so much for updating, I am glad to hear of your success.0 -
Good for you!! I am so happy that you got the help you needed and you are working on yourself!! I wish you all the best!!!0
