Christina--450 calories?

Wow, she was straight-up anorexic in her 2nd followup. She told the doctor she was eating 400-500 calories a day, but she knew he didn't think she was eating enough, so it was probably more like 300. Christina seemed to be getting back on track towards the end of the episode, but I'm worried she'll feel fat no matter how she looks, and backslide into self-starvation. Best of luck to her!
I never would have expected this to happen in her first episode. I guess her mom and husband really were trying to keep her fat.

The thing is when you have been so obese for so long, and you finally lose it, you still SEE the fat person you were, you still FEEL like the fat person you were, that doesn't go away just because the weight does.

Know your metabolism. I would put in a very active eight hour day and then after that drive to the dance studio for a 2-3
hour workout.

My caloric intake was 500-900 kcal/day. I was not anorexic at 5'2" and 101-115 lbs.. At 115lbs. I was putting on muscle mass.

My measurements were 35 - 23 - 33.

I think she traded one eating disorder for another.

Look at the mindset; if eating got me this big, not eating will have the opposite effect.
