I got really skinny in college...I've always been thin and didn't even notice that I was dropping even more weight. A few of my friends...oddly, all men...were nice enough to tell me about it. The first time, I just brushed him off. The second and third time, I actually realized it was a problem.

Even though they were nice about, and I did need a wake-up call, I did resent any hint that I was anorexic or depressed or hurting myself. Like, please, respect me enough to ask before making assumptions? Please listen to me and don't just rush to make some big dramatic "official" problem out of it.

Turns out I had just been smoking too many cigarettes and when I cut back, I put on weight again.

"Boys won't like you now" is such an inappropriate comment.

Faith,

Yes it seems that we're kind of in the same boat, indeed.

Inappropriate, for sure! I wasn't upset by it, I just thought... 'Who says that kind of thing?' lmao.

I was like that for years. I am much better now for a number of reasons.

1. I eat raw food, most of the time. It is healthier for you and easier to digest

2. Kombucha, a fermented tea, gives good bacteria that is lost with stress

3.Kundalini Yoga with the yoga breathing

4. Try to get rid of fears, anger, resentment and pain.
This is really, really slow

5. Have someone who you can show yourself to, all the things you don't like and who will still love you.

I had a teeny appetite so could not eat much. It was not a choice but I am much better now with the above things.

PS You did not look too skinny in the video imo

No I don't look too skinny. That's why I'm confused by my mother's words. :/

Mom's are like that, feeding is nurturing.

This is a person with an earth suit but it goes without saying that Jesus is behind the whole thing

I quit smoking cold turkey, in college. I went from two packs to zero cigarettes, overnight...like I said, Cap is about extremes and for once that worked out well for me.

Dietary changes can solve a lot of problems: physical, emotional, spiritual. If you can find a way to enjoy the process of figuring out your optimal diet...that's great. For me it has been an arduous journey but I feel like I am finally getting in my groove with a somewhat low-fat, mostly vegan, mostly raw diet. No wheat or gluten.

If I tried that all at once my guts would have rebelled, but after inching my way here over time, it's a good place. And I love some of this food...to be able to enjoy a meal, flavor-wise, and know it's going to make you feel healthy and clear-headed...I feel like that's one of the best things a person can experience.

But me and my goody-goody 6H sun will get off the soapbox now...even if the moon is still in Virgo and I'm sure deep down inside everyone wants to hear this stuff.
