I've lost weight but not in a good way
So I've been overweight all my childhood, I was picked on for it and made fun of. Elementary and middle school wasnt too good. My family as well did poke fun. But one day I had enough, I always hated my body because I was fat and ugly. I always avoided mirrors or that shows my reflection. In middle school I began my journey in late 6th to early 7th. I stared to become more active and eat better. It was going good, I lost some and was a bit happy how I looked when I graduated 8th. I still wasnt satisfied so during summer to become a 9th I exercised more and had a plan on times to eat and still exercise everyday. I believe this is where it began. I lost a good amount but I didn't see it, so I was stricter and exercised more and starved and some days binged cause I was hungry. I noticed my naked broke easily a lot an hair fell out a lot and my skin looked too pale even if I wasnt pale. In 10th I was at my lowest weight and I was unhealthy and didn't feel energized. I then tried to restrict less in order to not feel tired a lot as well as not exercising everyday. Something then occurred in my family and and with school pressure and sport unfairness had caused me to gain a bit back slowly because of the stress and sadness, guilt. When I noticed i started to hate and go back to my old way, it lasted for a bit but i wanted to start healthily and began once again. I was now losing weight more slowly and eating right and exercising. I'm feeling now happy about how I look and am finally getting stronger using weights and not only cardio. I kinda tend to want to relapse but I take it slow, i still try to exercise everyday but pass my self if I dont.

YOURE DOING GREAT :))
Don't feel pressured to exercise everyday, I used to do that and its super bad for your muscles and growth. Maybe exercise every two days and on the off days go on a walk or do a short at home work out to give yourself a break.
Also make sure you eat more protein in order to compensate for that weight exercise.
Anywho, you're amazing for picking yourself back up!
I’m not sure what you’re going through that lead you to grieve for your family, But i wish the best for you! And I’ve been through similar times, just different intentions. It’s great that you’re determined enough to exercise and all! You’re doing a great job. But don’t always just PUSH yourself or go more strict when things don’t work out as u planned. It takes time and patience<3 though I’m sure you already knew that.
I think you’re doing a great job with lifting weights and all, nothing wrong with that !! Completely fine!! But please remember to take care of yourself mentally too Sorry if I wasn’t much help, but I hope everything goes well for you!!
