MerDog Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hello all!I began my NerdFitness journey last month, and am pretty impressed thus far!However, if anyone has any words of wisdom I sure could use some. I started NerdFitness after a friend of mine reccommended it. I'm recovering from a battery of eating disorders, and had severely damaged my body. I was gaining weight rapidly even though I was eating almost nothing, I was working out 5-6 times a week but was so weak and tired that I could barely make it through my workout, I weighed myself around 2-3 times a day (gross, I know), and I was losing my mind. I threw myself into NF figuring I had nothing to lose. I began doing the workouts with the required day of rest in between (something I had never done before), I started eating 100% Paleo (I had been a vegetarian for years, then vegan for about one year), and I STOPPED weighing myself (I will occasionally every week or two). I am beginning to notice muscle tone and definition, I have more energy, and I feel pretty alright (which is spectacular considering that when I started I felt like CRAP). I have, however, gained 5lbs since starting NF (a grand total of 10lbs since my 'recovery' journey). I am trying to tell myself that this is normal. That this is just what happens, and that this is what SHOULD happen.What I'm getting at is: Is there ANYONE out there that has a similar story to mine? I just want to be healthy, and I just want to know that I'm going in the right direction. I started NF at 110lbs...I'm now 115 almost 116. My lowest weight was 105.Oh! I'm also having a HELLOFATIME kicking the fruit habit! Everything else has been pretty alright though. Any thoughts? Words of wisdom?Thanks to all who read this big bag of suck!Best!

MerDog Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Haikoo!I left suddenly because my internet connection is rather...sporatic. Heh. I live out in the middle of nowhere, and it isn't always the best.I want to thank you again for your sweetness, and your kind words. Really.I also read Staci's story finally! I was in awe! Talking to you yesterday, and reading her story were EXACTLY what I needed. Quote Link to comment
