Mandie's Mind:

Thankfully, my stupid 150 calorie diet didn’t last very long because I got out of my house and started living in the most positive environment I could ask for. I was probably 110 pounds in this photo and I’m 5’2”.

It’s crazy to think how far I’ve come since this photo. I recently had my heart shattered into a million pieces and fell into a very depressed and stressed mindset and completely lost my appetite. I lost 20 pounds in the span of about 3 weeks. At my lowest, I weighed 100 pounds and could see every bone in my chest when I looked in the mirror. I remember thinking about how awful I looked but how 2015/2016 Mandie would have KILLED for that look but 2019 Mandie was desperately trying to gain weight and look and feel healthy again.
