Answers:

I was anorexic for several years.

I lost 45lbs the first year which isn't a lot but I was attempting to work out and keep what muscle I had left.

I would mostly salad - lettuce, carrots, and maybe some croutons. Or just eat crackers. I spent many days on crackers.

I lost the ability to do the things I enjoyed, like running and even playing in the band. I was always so tired and worn out.
It's a terrible to disease to get caught up with. I was finally threatened with a food tube in my nose which I'm terrified of and I gradually snapped out of it.

Some people can look in the mirror and think "oh god I'm fat", but I was always "aw I'm cute, but a little chubby." Therefore I guess you could say that I didn't have it as bad as the adults who weight 65lbs.

I'm now a little bigger than I'd like to be because of my thyroid and having a child but I can promise you that food is your friend. Exercise and a decent meal plan will keep you from getting fatter and help you to lose weight.
