#unhealthyweightloss

[wleverysecond]

it’s so much easier to not eat whenever my friends aren’t at school.

So, when I say that I am chronically ill, when I say that I’m upset that I lost “only a couple pounds”, when I say that I have nutritional deficiencies, when I say that I have SIBO, IBS, leaky gut (which are arguable one umbrella)... this is the shit that can happen. It’s almost always more than “just a few pounds”. I was about 125lbs in early December. It is now January 15. This will get better, I can and will gain it back. But this shit is scary and awful and I hate how much effort my body asks of me sometimes. #chronicillness #sibo #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #siborecovery #leakygut #weightloss #unhealthyweightloss #healyourgut #healyourself

Normalize realistic weight loss goals. I know with hard work and determination I will achieve my fitness goals. I also have no desire to be skinny. I simply want to be healthy for my body type. #stahfamily #somethingsabouther #faddiets #nutrtion #unapologeticconversation #plussizefitness #fadworkouts #trusttheprocessfitness #blackgirlsworkouttoo #progressnotperfection #unhealthyweightloss #doitfortherightreasons (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5WWDvHnx0/?igshid=1if38f066ykch

I never realised how bad my health, both mentally and physically, has gotten until I heard it from someone else's mouth. It took for someone to say to me "look, your weight isn't healthy anymore and I think you need to talk to someone about it" for me to see that the way I have treat myself isn't kind. Going off my current BMI I am now significantly underweight and I know that, but I didn't think anyone else did. Hearing those words come from your mouth is what hit me the hardest - you aren't supposed to care anymore, you left and you unleashed a monster in me that I thought I had locked away for good. but it's you that has been honest with me, you have offered to come with me and speak for me because you know I am too ashamed and afraid to talk about it myself, you have said you'll be there when I need you and that we'll get through this no matter what. this caring, kind hearted version of you is the person I miss and to hear you being that person again takes me back to missing you more than my heart can bare. knowing you still care enough to want to help me, to be there for me and to be by my side through something I have never been able to admit to makes me realise that I haven't let you go and I don't think that I can just yet. I don't think things have ever been this bad for me, and to know I at least have you by my side through it all makes it a little easier to breathe. I know I have to be the best I can be for our little boy, and I will do what it takes til I am. I am scared to admit that the monster I had locked away for so long is back, stronger than ever and I'm afraid that I'm not strong enough to fight back this time.
