Ask a former 60lb anorexic anything (srs)

Great job man. You made it.

What was the turning point? How did you get introduced to powerlifting.

What pushed you to start losing weight. Were you aware how much it was hurting you?

[ralphlaurenbrah]

i hope you go on to help others suffering your condition. either through a book, volunteering, or website, etc.

I am doing that for people that broke their backs and are in severe 9/10 pain like I was. Already linked up someone and they had surgery from the same surgeon that operated on me and saved my life. Can't imagine how good it feels until you help someone through something like we've been through.

The turning point no doubt was the whole heart failure thing. Shocked me something crazy.

I got introduced to powerlifting by a friend. Fell in love with it instantly!

In the beginning it just happened, i wasnt aware of what was going on, it just was, i had no idea what an eating disorder was, then one day when my mum took me to the doctors anorexia was mentioned. I still had no ****ing idea though, it was scary chit.

Why did you stop eating OP? I'm so confused as to how this starts? I understand you were bullied, but why stop eating?

to die

Gonna be completely honest here and say im with you on the confusion, i have no logical theory how getting bullied can turn into anorexia, mental illnesses are a very complex thing and people who suffer from them dont really have a choice, we just have to get on with it.

Inspiring transformation man. I'm glad you are going to bigger and better things. Did the docs ever say if your bones would thicken over time?

[BounceBackBill]

Yes they said that is a possibility, given now that i have a diet high in calcium. They will re check it every year or so to check if its getting better/worse.

[BounceBackBill]

dink must look huge at 60lbs

nurses mirin?l

I just cried at this hahahah

[tjop]

is your depression over now?

[Cynisca]

Holeeesheeeet, that's amazing! Got a little teary eyed (srs) because I know how much willpower and dedication it takes to recover from a mental illness. Incredible

[VmissileX]

Wow OP wow.

I just teared a little in the inside because I remember the days I used to be anorexic. I remember the days when I used to be too sad to want to eat and told myself not to eat because it will make me happier. How much of an idiot I was...if I listened to my family/girlfriend and just ate a single meal for the day instead of trying to desperately loose weight..I would be in such a happier place.

Eitherway, your story is just inspirational. Godspeed to your future, and going further.

[hoister]

fuarking amazing progress brah. lets hope it never happens again repped

[InspecktaDeck]

I can relate op. After boot camp I got down to a deathly 170....
