I thought I’d be happy after reaching my goal weight. I started off as 5’9 and 125 pounds. I thought I was fat so I dieted. I then lost 20 pounds in 2 months. My BMI is 15.5. 

105 was supposed to be my goal weight. Now I look in the mirror and my legs are thinner, I finally have that thigh gap, and I can wear skirts and tight jeans and dresses without hating myself.

But at what price? I ate 600 calories a day for the past 10 weeks. I don’t have any energy. I’m cold all the time. My grades are slipping. My family is worried for me.

And all for what? Skinny legs and a thigh gap? I thought my life would change after I hit my goal weight. But it hasn’t. Everything is still the same. I’m still unhappy and I feel cheated.
