I am 6 weeks into refeeding. Up 15lbs. Weight restored. I wanted to share some (bad quality) pics to show you all how amazing recovery can be and how 15lbs is no big deal :) This is quite scary for me...to say the least...

First up. Me at 93lbs, BMI 17, very very sick, almost died.

And the back view

Now. 108lbs. BMI almost 21. Eating over 2100 calories per day.

I grew some muscles.

And some abs.

Basically I'm healthy.

So this is what recovery REALLY looks like. Questions? Ask away. Comments? PLEASE!

    I think your body looks the same except your muscles are much more defined. But your face looks so much better..doesnt look so gaunt. Ok that is the out side how does the inside feel? Maybe with myself I should try and do it in small steps. Instead of having to gain 50lbs maybe I should just shoot for 10 at first what do you thnk about that?

    You really look good...SO PROUD OF YOU!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!(and I know it wasnt easy either) You are a very strong, beautiful woman!
