Unhealthy weight loss vs. healthy weight loss
In both photos I am 110-112lbs
Left photo: 2012 (31 years old), doing 2 hrs. of cardio a day, starving all week so I can binge drink wine every weekend. I'm still very puffy despite my low weight. Needless to say that was unsustainable. My drinking got worse (1-2 bottles of wine DAILY). My health slowly declined over the next 10 years, and I gained +30lbs. Hypertension, painful joints, poor sleep, depression, anxiety, shakes, gag reflex, etc.
Right photo: 2025 (44 years old), Carolyn Girvan for 30 minutes a day, walking only, 80g-100g protein, two years sober! All of the above-mentioned health issues GONE! Except now I have effing perimenopause haha
