This is so cool

I had an epiphany this morning, and I just htought I would share =D!

I have gained some weight, give or take about 5 lbs, putting me at about 101-104 (depending on how my body is feeling that day). I am 5'.75'', and 18 years old.

this was a result of me finally being able to eat like a normal person. I've stopped obsessing about calories, and I eat to fuel my body; with healthy choices always in mind.

At first, I was freaking out because of the weight gain. My initial reaction was to decrease my calories so I would stop gaining weight. I didn't though--I couldn't, you know why? Because I was finally hungry! 

this may sound silly, but after all that starvation, I found it hard to figure out when I was hungry and when I wasn't. Now I can actually feel my stomach start to rumble when I need a snack or I need a meal! WOW! this is awesome!

And I am absolutely ok with my weight. So What if I'm above the dreaded 100 lbs I used to fear everyday.I look great at this weight. I look healthy, I feel healthy.

This is what I have been waiting for. and I couldn't of done it without the help of the great people that have helped me on this site!!

 So thanks! 

That is wonderful!  Congratulations.
