Heeey there! I'm 5'0 16 year old and weigh 120 lbs. (stupid 2 week binge)
SW:110
CW:120
I been yo-yoing, before I discovered this site I thought of losing weight and knew very little about eating healthy, calories and it's deficits, etc.etc. I started out pretty bad, eating around 900 calories cause I thought eating less would help me lose weight. That was a year ago and maybe lasted..a month? I lost maybe merely 5 lbs, that time I was 105 and went to 100 lbs. I gained that back in 3 weeks. This year I found this site and rarely went on, I knew more but not enough. I ended up eating around 1200-1500 calories and exercised vigourously for 1 h and 30 mins. I got down to 105 lbs again, and the lowest I was at 103. (for those two days I was very happy at the weight) though I screwed up again a month later and ended back up to 110. My weight flacuated alot and never seemed to maintain. It usually was at 110 lbs however. I felt that my happy weight would be 100 lbs due to my height and petite frame. I started to go on this more more, the next month I was told that I needed to up my cals because I wasn't getting enough since I'm still a teenager and growing. I needed ALOT more calories, though I had no idea. I was only focusing on restricting and limiting to 1500 calories a day. I started to eat more calories and healthy but ended up stressing with all the cravings I was getting from the food I missed over the months. I did not eat chips,cookies,cake, all that crap for soo long I don't even believe it myself. Period was late cause of the stress and lack of fats in my body.
Now, I am recovering from 2 weeks of binging crap and had to pay for it. (gained 10 lbs). The first week I just had no control and wanted to eat everything that I missed out on like ice cream, cookies, cake, etc. I was on my last day that I promised myself to stop binging when I ended up in crutchs for a week. After that freak accident I started binging for another week because of it. That week was espically bad cause I could not exercise at all! I was stuck laying around, sitting, and sleeping all day-oh and eating. I'm eating healthy like before and avoiding the unhealthy junk. I felt I had no control those 2 weeks but so far for 3 days the cravings of overeating seemed to disappear. I can walk now without limping and slowly getting back into my regular exercising. I want to lose at least the extra 10 lbs I gained from the 2 week binge. I just want my self-confidence back :]
I still want to maintain a healthy me and not become skinny to the bone. My body is God's Temple as said in the bible. God bless.
