What makes a person be so rigid? I'm not really thinking about a person's opinions, but like, their lifestyle.

Like, I'm either eating all the time and eating unhealthy foods, but now I'm trying to eat under 1,000 calories a day but I'm probably getting under 600 - 700 and I've lost 13.4lbs in two to three weeks; after gaining about 65lbs in six months.

My mom says "From one extreme to the other."

Is anyone else like this? And not just with eating.

I read this one silly thing about people born on January 26th (my B-day) and it said they have strict or unusual eating habits. Sounds like me!

Also, before anyone says I'm anorexic. I'm medically obese and again, I gained 65lbs in six months. My body has suffered from my incredible weight gain; I've had over month long periods with constant heavy bleeding. I need to lose weight fast and at least get back to my "healthier" (still medically obese) weight. I'm still living an incredibly sedentary lifestyle and taking under 500 steps a day most days. Whenever I become more physically active, I'll slowly add more calories to my diet, even if it makes me gain a few pounds back.

Even if you're technically obese, you can be anorexic, and definitely malnourished. It's easier to lose weight the heavier you are but if you starve yourself you will go into starvation mode and won't lose as much. I'm not judging, I've done it before...just saying!

Maybe Sagittarius or Jupiter hard aspects would make someone extreme because Jupiter makes everything BIG. Or saturn. I have jupiter (expansion) opposite saturn (restriction) and I tend to go through periods where I am hyper obsessive about my health and appearance, and periods where I just relax and eat what I want.

It is an interesting topic.

My diet habit is a little extreme. In the past 3 years, I frequently gained lots of weight and lost it. I put on weight very fast, esp. when I was travelling. I love sweet food. I could put on 2-3 kilos in 5-7 days, and lost it all in the same period because I hate being fat, I feel very bad if I cannot move fast with lots of fat. So I often checked my weight on scale. If I found I put on much weight, I would be on diet until lost all or most. So my weight usually fluctuated around 1-3 kilos. This situation goes around and around. I cannot help myself when I see delicious food. They are alluring me, but after eating and found out I gain a lot of weight, I feel guilty. I hate myself for this, but cannot change¡­¡­

My 1st house Virgo Saturn square my 4th house Neptune Sagittarius. Any more reasons for extreme?

My math teacher has Jupiter and Neptune square every personal planet. Long story short, he gained a lot of weight from eating too much Nutella during his two years of preparatory classes (college-level) so he decided to join Polytechnique, the most elite engineering school in France (that also has a lot of physical exercising since it's military).... to lose weight. That's all.
Jupiter square everything = overdoing everything. Everything.

Happy belated birthday swampys

And a song about your thread topic.

I'm similar; my sun is in a t-square with Jupiter and Pluto. Though I'm never really extreme about diet in the bad sense...I have fasted more than once, no food for over a week, however. And eaten all raw food for a long time...a few months of about 95% raw.
