[quote=Anonymous]I was probably around 17-18% BF at my worst during my pandemic eating disorder relapse, and I looked like I was 40 when I was 31.  I'm more vain than I'd like to admit, because as terrified as I was about getting a stress fracture or long-term bone issues, it was looking at myself in the mirror every morning that pushed me to get back to my standard quasi-recovery.  Also my arms were so veiny and gross.

Also, I had to pee all the time.  This is common among women who develop hypothalamic amenorrhea, something about low estrogen.  Like I felt like I couldn't go on a good walk without planning a bathroom break.  I wasn't sleeping well and would wake up with hot flashes.  I was completely obsessive about food and could think about nothing else.  I also couldn't stay still and was constantly compulsively moving (another thing associated with eating disorders).

I wasn't even willingly trying to lose weight--I was trying to avoid gaining the "pandemic 15."  But yeah.  Don't do this, it's not worth it.    [/quote]
