I was actually following it as a career, and I realized I wanted to get a degree instead. I never really felt bad because I was always thin. I suppose I never really ate much to begin with.
-
This is incredible----THANK YOU
-
I have absolutely no idea... It just seemed like the weigh just kept coming on, no matter how hard I've tried to stop it.
-
oh of course not!!!! I'm out of the performing arts career so I really don't have any pressure to be thin, anyway. I just want to be healthy, and I had no idea how unhealthy I was still, even in my attempts to be "healthier"
-
let me explain a bit...I was running more in the past and before August, I was eating even less because I never felt hungry. and yes I have been on 1200 because I wanted to make sure I was eating enough, but I also have something called gastroparesis and I have it so badly that I couldn't eat vegetables until about 2 weeks…
-
yes I did...in fact, I started last year around this time running 2-3 times per week and ended up with a stress fracture, so I've had to build up to it. Thank you for your help!!!

Like I said, I am a former dancer and all my friends eat 700 calories a day and run 6-8 miles, so I thought I was doing quite a lot in terms of calorie consumption/less exercise.
-
good to know. thank you!
-
I didn't realize it wasn't enough! Even my nutritionist told me to stay around 1200 because we don't really realize how little we burn.
-
thank you! I do put everything into a measuring cup before I eat it, especially with soups and what not, so I really am very exact on what I eat, but with that still in mind, I'll definitely take into account that this is too little...I just originally thought that I was basing it on the 1000 calorie deficit. Thank you
-
thank you :) I used to be a ballet dancer, but I stopped recently, so maybe I will reincorporate some of those activities.
-
oh wow, thank you so much...I had no idea I was eating so much under what I should be...
-
nope, I don't have one (active pill) so that is definitely not the case
-
I really just stick to the 1200 and don't really eat anything back...fitbit has a tracking part for daily calorie expenditure (so it creates a 1000cal deficit), and it tells me I'm in the target zone when I eat 1200 and burn off 2250 cal a day, which I seem to only be able to do with exercise.
-
Sorry-- 1200 a day.
