No-one's saying you don't look at a more healthy weight.
We have the right to warn you of the dangers of what you're doing.3 -
Undereating isn't healthy, either.1

OP, I feel you on overcoming starting from a bad place. I started out walking with a cane, and am now a runner, okay?
So I get the high of making improvements to your health.
But I can also tell you that it backfires every. single. time. when you try to rush the process. Undereating will catch up to you, the hormonal system in your body is only going to allow you to get away with so much before it starts to fight back. And you will lose and undo all the progress you've made.
Please. Some of us have struggled with trying to rush and paid the price for it and are telling you it's not worth it. Even if you think you are making healthy improvements, you're not doing it in a sustainable way. Slow your roll, make changes that fuel a healthy mindset that's not just focused on a finish line, but a lifetime of living a new way.2
