It was between the ages of 14 and 20 and I started off not eating at all, maybe an apple a day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I also started to eat sensibly. The weight just dropped off.
I've never really talked about this, but I would go days without eating. Or maybe I'd have some fruit and then go to the gym for three hours. I knew I had a problem... It was a gradual process but I changed myself.
When I was pregnant. I exercised and was healthy, but it was also the first time since I was 14 that I wasn't on a diet.
When I was young, I had no choice as to what I was eating.
I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn't know anything about food.
For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee.
I don't snack a lot, because I didn't grow up snacking.
I remember as a teen being able to eat more than my father. I was growing so fast and my body couldn't keep up.
As a kid, I got three meals a day. Oatmeal, miss-a-meal and no meal.
I had a really hard time when I was 16, 17, 18. I started with the eating disorder in high school.
