I Am Losing Weight

There was a time when I was a pro ballerina, in a Russian ballet school. (Teacher was so harsh as hell, she would beat us with a stick). She took children in if they had a poor family background but were talented, which apparently, I was.

At the age of 17 I was so sick, I wouldn't eat for so long that when I did I couldn't hold anything down. By the time I was 19 I was disgustingly skinny... I had no energy and just looked miserable.

So I quit ballet and decided to help myself - and eat until I got better!

Unfortunately this caused my body to be so confused that I blew up and got rather large! But I didn't care, I just felt so much happier now that food was in my life.

It all happened very quickly! I am so lucky to have such good skin that it didn't do any damage!

Now I am pesco-vegan and I go to the gym 5-6 days a week, I feel so much better! I have 28% body fat (Because I believe scales are not a very good indicator) and I want to get down to 22%!

I am very happy! I can fit into things that I was not able to for a long time! I feel like I understand food and my body, and I want to eat healthy! It just feels great to have a juicy salad...

Heard about some of them ballet teachers, sounds horrible.
