Dead Girl Walking.

Why go through the struggle of covering it up by eating excess food?

Don't you want to feel the delicacy of your collar bones?

Don't you deserve to trace your fingers between your cheek and jaw?

I think so.

Feeling your hips peek out is a reward.

We've all been working so very hard.

I think it's high time you push through that last mile and experience the euphoria of pretty rib outlines, separate thighs, tiny wrists, and sleek fingers.

You were always meant to be thin.

Always meant to be lovely.

to be picked up when i hug people

so i'm so skinny the doctors don't think my weight loss is good anymore

so people don't use me as a pillow

to climb trees again

to worry people

to wear tank tops without hating myself

to feel clean and in control

to be carried easily

to share clothes and actually fit in others clothes

to see my bones

to be skinny like i was when i was a kid

The gut instict of course is to cut lower. Many of us (Myself included) are bad about going... oh 800 doesnt work anymore? Time to eat 600. And yes it does result in quicker fat loss.

But here's why you shouldn't necessarily just lower your cals more if youre already hardcore restricting and still not losing.

You metabolism is like a fire. It will never stop burning, but calories are kindle. So when you cut calories. The fire (your metabolism) is still burning what was put on the pyre prior and will burn weight off super quickly. But as you decrease the calories (kindle) that fire slowly is suffocated out.

This happens regardless of your calorie deficit. It's natural.

But how do we fix this stall in weight loss? The lowering of the metabolic fire?

For most it's easy enough. You eat more for a day (add more kindle for a day) and the fire will spark up pretty high again.

But what if you're fire is so low its almost out and you're eating like 200 cals and barely losing.

Well sadly you're gonna have to do something a bit more long term. You're gonna have to reverse diet.

This means adding in a few extra calories every day until you're at your maintenence before cutting again.
