I love it!

I LOVE Elliot Huss, he's amazing

I'm sorry, I posted too soon. I was trying to say that I begin to lose my hair when my calories get that low. I'm 5'6 and I weigh 118 and take in 1,300-1,600(ideally) and I'm as thin as a rail.

Selfie train?! Sweet! Haven't seen one of these since myspace!

Wow, okay I will do that. Thank you so much for all of your help! Seriously :)

I have to say that I agree with you completely but for whatever reason, I begin to gain weight around 1,800 calories despite working in a restaurant and lifting 5 times a week. I was putting on the most mass at 1,800 cals but I was also getting a lot of belly fat. :/ I'm not following any specific program, just increasing…

Sorry I hit send too soon. Would you suggest lowering carbs and raising fats?

One of my biggest fears is finally reaching recovery only for the nightmare to return. Keep believing in yourself and I wish you all of the best through your journey to having a better life. If you'd ever like to talk about it don't hesitate to message me. <3

I have definitely done a 360 with my diet over the years of recovery and have cut out all sugar as well as eliminating processed foods. Great advice and thank you for sharing with the rest of the community becuase you're totally right! Eating clean and healthy is key to recovery. I too struggle with bipolar disorder but…

Oh my gosh thank you all so much for all of your thoughtful and encouraging responses. I'm overwhelmed right now with that amount of support from you guys! This is the most support I have ever gotten, truly. I want to start off by apologizing for not responding sooner. I never got a notification or anything saying that my…
