I got on a really good digital scale today, actually state of the art at a hospital. I was there keeping company with a friend who is going to have surgery. I knew I had lost weight, but I was in for a bit of a shock. I was about 20lbs lighter than I guessed I would be. For a moment I was a bit afraid, maybe I lost too much weight. But after thinking about it, I was actually at my 'ideal weight' I remember reading years ago on a chart, based on my height. I always thought those charts were too unrealistic, and unachievable weights. I had been within 10-15lbs before, but never within the suggested range. Now I am, at least for now. Things always have a way of changing.

I don't have a scale at home, I just go by what I see in the mirror. I sometimes think its too thin, but I am used to a body image thats slightly overweight. This is something to get used to! I will have to buy new clothes soon, as almost nothing fits the new me!

Woohoo! Doesn't that feel good? Congratulations, on meeting your goal.

Goodness!!
I sure wish I could step on a scale and see a reading thats 20 lbs lighter than I thought!

I think that sort of thing happens when you aren't expecting it, or are trying to loose weight! I guess like 'a watched pot never boils!' I am fearful of loosing weight most of the time, but this time I am ok with it. I just felt like ok, maybe this is where I am supposed to be to be healthy.

For those that are eating healthy...or getting crap about their weight...I often remark that there are very few diseases associated with being at a low weight....if getting the proper nutrition....as opposed to the opposite (high weight and low nutrition is a recipe for diabetes and circulatory issues).

I am still loosing weight. Some time ago I had a new hole punched on my belt, but now I am on that new hole again, and even that seems too loose. So I am on the watch that I don't start looking like Jeremy Gillitzer.

He used to look really good, but developed anorexia. Apparently he suffered with it for many years. Does this stuff sneak up on one without realizing it?

Mislu,

Those photos are appalling. That you are being vigilant about your own attitude I think increases your chances for NOT becoming anorexic. Remember that it is common that while one's metabolism is still adjusting, the body continues to shed stored fat. Once the bulk of detoxification is completed, the weight goes back up to what is optimum for one's own organism.

well, I hope so. I have been eating a lot better than I have been for a long time, but I am not completely raw, so I am surprised. Its good to know however.
