    sadly, I used to think it was "cute" being smaller than everyone. Yea, not so much anymore... These days I'm happy that I am healthy.

    You look amazing! I love posts like this because reducing my body fat is what I've been working on more than becoming 'skinny' i just wanted my body to be as strong, lean and able as possible!
    Congratulations on recovering from anorexia and finding a more healthy path - That is a huge credit alone :)

    I agree, I'm where you were in 2008 and do not know how to break the mold. Those who prefer you anorexic have never suffered from the disease.
    Congratulations - I know it was a tough battle and it's constantly a battle - but you LOOK AMAZING!!!!

    I hope that I too can find my way out... you are an inspiration!

    thank you! Exactly. It's not cute. Its so mental and I'm glad I no longer think that way. I am surprised anyone would actually say they prefer the unhealthy to the healthy. It makes me sad for them. Especially on a site for support. I hope you will be able to overcome to, too one day in the near future. Best wishes!

    Awesome transition! Your habits are definitely set now, and will last you long-term.

    But it's not just women. I had a similar thing happen. I was undereating and not working out. Lost a lot of strength and body mass. Now I'm in the process of reversing it.

    It's great to see others who have done similar.

    you are definitely right. Its not just women. Glad you made the change, too!

    Just curious, did you bulk and cut from 2011 to 2013, or was it more a body recomp thing?

    I did a bulk and cut in 2011 and again in 2012 - both for competitions. I have not since last September. I am in maintenance mode now and may do another for a photo shoot I am wanting to do at the end of the year. I am undecided at this point.

    You look beautiful in all three pictures, and yes, 120 pounds is a much better weight for you.

    Just a reality check, 25% body fat is a very healthy percentage for a woman and nothing for anyone to feel bad about.

    I did state it was not a bad thing, but that I wanted more for myself. I wasn't going to be able to compete at 25% body fat.

    What would you recommend for a woman starting out where you were initially in 2008? Do you feel getting up to 120 lbs or so prior to initiation of bulking/cutting helped make it easier (versus if you had attempted a bulk from the 95 lb point instead)?

    Thanks.
