Two different eating disorders overcome, 240 to 140 to 180

[KoreanChocoBoy]

Most people probably have grown up being overweight and there are gonna be alot of your peers who are going to unintentionally make fun of you by calling you fat/chubby/big and it's frustruating.... I've gone through so much my whole life and me being overweight was something that caused me severe depression. Girls would call me the cute guy and would not even consider me more than anything than just a friend. I decided to lose weight, but in order to do this I consumed only about 500-1,000 calories per day with an addition of about 4-7. This caused many problems to my body and many potential health risks. I dropped down to 140 pounds and I still wanted to lose more and I had fear of gaining weight. After every meal I would walk a few miles and I would skip dinner. If I felt a bit full, then I would immediately stop eating and I started to look emaciated. I realized that I had very low self-esteem and it continued to go downhill, but I finally learned to really love myself for who I am. Just because someone is obese or overweight doesn't mean they are ugly or that there is something wrong with them, but since society and the media has made it seem as though it is something undesireable we too find it undesirable



The right is my most recent picture, but the first one was when I gained the most weight and the second one was when I was at my skinniest. The reason why I got so fat is because I got alot of attention towards people who thought my eating ability was crazy, but in the end I realized they weren't laughing with me, but they were laughing at me. The middle picture was when I was nearly anorexic and overly obsessed on how my body looked and I also got alot of attention from people being amazed at how much weight I was losing. I am now 180-190 lbs and I am content at how I look. I now have full focus on weight training and I continue to try to be the stronger version of myself.



This is me now.


And here is me squatting, I eat around 2,500-3,000 a day most of it being carbs and protein and no longer is starvation a problem for me, smile

Dude that story is great. Way to motivate, man.
You're looking awesome, btw! Keep it up. I love the routine you have going on. I am a runner so I do not work on legs at all at the gym, besides simple monotonous exercises to work the fast-twitch muscle fibers, but I max at 165 lbs on bench. Considering two months ago I only did 95, this is a huge accomplishment for me and reading about you makes me even more confident that I can achieve two plates by the time I start college in the Fall.
Keep up the good work. emotion_omnomnom

Ive lost 50lbs so far... Weight loss is a part of my recovery. I hope to be somewhere in the middle aiming for 230. I look pretty normal around there.. Im verry tall and have a verry athletic/muscular build.


It was verry reasuring to see your post this morning...

I made some recent changes since I dont really excersize I just basically cut out fat a** foods and switched EVerything to like you know instead of beef turkey or bacon turkey bacon. milk, lactose free fat free milk. even lo carb tortillas. However I put one of my cousins older kids in daycar after school so basically I have to do the walk, I started working on major home renovations to keep me busy like cleaning and remodeling the garage, cutting, edging maintaining the yard, anything to work up a sweat.
