When I started training I had a really good system.  I would eat what I wanted when I wanted, in small porportion and I would make sure I really craved it.  My trainer ruined that good habit by having me write down everything I ate, count calories.  She wanted me to be eatin 5-6 times a day, small meals, understandable.  I started gaining weight, which I knew would probably happen because of muscle gain.  A few months after I started training I shaved my head for a charity.  I was confident enough in myself to shave my head, but after it all it really took a toll on my personal confidence.  I continued to gain through the summer.  I hated the way I looked, I always felt like a boy.  One day I was at my parents and this asian family friend was talking to me.  He was trying to get me to eat some sweets.  I told him I didn't want any.  He asked why.  I told him I didn't want to get more fat.  His response was "your not fat, maybe medium".  All the sudden I realized, wow I looked horrible.  I truly did.  I looked at pictures, I looked at myself.  I needed to change.  So in september I started working out more, I stopped eating crap food.  I decided to be vegetarian.  I stopped eating dairy.  I joined livejournal.  I got ideas on how to lose weight.  It started working.  I went from 147 to 125 in about a month.  I loved it.  I started peaking though.  Bouncing around from 120-125.  The holidays came.  I was having a hard time losing more, but I wasn't gaining.  So I kept working out, running.  If i hate too many sweets, I purged.  I was purging a lot in the winter.  I was freezing too.  But I wasn't going to gain anymore.  I continued to lose.  I think the lowest I got was 115.  Everyone was talking about me.  I hated it.  I wished they would stop.   This was my life.  My choice.  I couldn't be 'normal' this was just the way I was. Then in january I was in a car accident.

You're not alone
