I'm here. I'm just having a hard time right now.
The diet had to end. I got really sick. My friend's mother talked to her father, a doctor, and basically said that I crashed. There is a minimum of calories that I need for daily living and I wasn't eating near that. So, I guess my body went into "starvation mode" and is now holding on to everything I eat. Being near food made me sick for a few days. Finally, about last Friday, I started eating normal again. Then Sunday night I got a stomach bug -or something- and now I'm back to my pre-diet weight. And sick.
I have nothing to show for the Hell I went through, except discouragement. I don't even want to step foot in the gym. I feel like I'd die of embarrassment. I don't feel stronger, or smarter, or re-focused. I feel sick.
I cried and cried over all this. I want to give up and just face a life of bigness.
