I'm kind of 'recovering' from heavy calorie restriction. It all started when I gained weight at the age of ten, I am a diabetic type one since I was four and I was resistant to a certain insulin I was injecting at that time. There was a point were it was such a high amount that the injections couldn't be filled with enough insulin for me. I needed five full injections, normal kids at my age and weight needed a half injection. It was crazy and no doctor cared, it went on for almost three years. Because of that high insulin intake I gained weight, I still wasn't overweight just a bit chubby, until then I was always muscular and sporty. There was a solution but the weight wasn't going down. I thought I had to diet, to the point where I was eating like max. 450 calories a day and burning 600 calories with cardio. That went for over 2 years. Now I'm 15 years old. I still have my period, but sometimes it's only every two months and when I have it it's just like two days or so. It's a mess. Last year in March I started at 67. 1 kg. At my 'best' in summer I was 63 kg. I was eating so little, barely anything and didn't even lose that much weight. Now I'm trying to eat a little bit more (500+-, slowly trying to increase the intake) but more protein in the calories. Now I am 67 kg again (btw I'm 165 cm, earlier this year I ate even less but gained weight. At some point I just wonder how I survive, I am a competitive horse rider and do a lot of sports besides eating so little

I have seen this video before but since I have started PIIT 28 i am feeling more obsessed with what a transformation can look like. I have been trying to stick with the meal plan but I am finding it a little bit harder with classes starting again and find that I am having urges for snacks and junk food. I have been able to limit it to about once a week but then I feel bad about it and I end up weighing myself and finding that I am not losing the weight like I thought I would. I keep comparing my weight to what I think it should be but honestly I feel better and more muscular even though my weight it staying pretty much the same. I love how you told us your weight and how there is a difference in how you feel even though you do not weigh as much as you did during your bikini competition. It really makes me feel that ill get there, even if I do not lose that much weight, I just need to reduce my stress and not focus on what I am eating. It may take time for me to adjust and stop obsessing but I hope you keep making videos like this to help me and others through our journey!

This video is a reflection of my life. The workouts and calorie restriction, etc. It wasn't for competition except with myself. It has been such a horrible mental journey through depression and frustration of having food as the enemy for weight loss and for a gut infection. Food has either caused me intense physical pain or a feeling of worthlessness. Several comments refer to the strength it takes to still be happy and motivating during such duress. However, it's just what some people do. They do their jobs because they want to excel and have a job they love. Some people just don't quit. Bless you for your integrity with this post. I'm at the point of discovering why my metabolism is so low (resting 1289) and searching for ways to recover from the damage I've inflicted upon myself. I'm just going to eat, do my work, sleep, and wait until I feel ready to hit the road for cycling and running. This is the first video (of yours) I have seen and it will stay with me for a long, long time. Cheers

First of all, your hair looks FABULOUS. Really. I'm recovering for a year of anorexia nervosa, and another year of bulimia. I'm feeling really berger now, because dit was a time of testing, finding balance. Yet, I started un december tout really really watch my alimentation (I eat 800-1000 healthy cal/day, and sometimes I get indulgent food. Still a bit too much than my hunger /satisfaction feeling) and walking at least 7 km a day + 30 min of pilates each morning. But I'm still not or hardly loosing weight, and even worse gaining weight really quickly when I juste slow down. Could it be that? A metabolic disruption. How to heal it, band have a gain my body working healthily? My purpose is really to be happy and well in my shoes. I'm am, un fact. But if would be an Nice + to lose all the weight I gained acter my mistakes.
Thank you by advance.

I already eat some bad food, along with good food, but I have only been eating one meal a day, and even fasting completely for up to 3 days at a time. I have noticed a big change in my metabolism, because I used to be able to eat one meal a day for maybe three days, and I would lose a fair amount of weight. Now I mostly just maintain my weight, even though I'm not eating very much throughout the day. I'm tired of gaining weight every time I decide to eat breakfast with my family. Can you give me any tips on how I can get back to normal? I used to be a skinny kid, but I also never ate very much growing up. I know I should eat normal, but I went so long without losing weight, and now that I'm a little lighter, I'm scared to gain it all back. What should I do? I'm also not exercising very much. Thanks so much, and I'm sorry if this is too overwhelming.

Ms.
I'm watching this right now because I feel like I'm in my plateau stage. not losing weight. But also not gaining. it stops. my mind is confuse and Im losing my focus (losing hope and will. I have watched a lot of video. Its hard to workout alone. At first I enjoy it. But now I start getting frustrated specially now that I'm not losing anymore weight. I'm still not in my ideal weight at I still didn't feel fit.
I know this is not the right feeling. I just want to share this to you because I love you. I will not give up. I will still continue.
Aside from pilates, I also do yoga. Sometimes cardio. Though I hate cardio but I know I need it specially now that I know, I am an Endomorph. I will try more to change this crazy feelings I have right now.
More power to you Cassey!

Ive watched so many weight loss/muscle gain/fat loss videos and Im still so confused. Ive been bulimic for about 5 years now and recently for the past 2 months have been restricting calories down to 600-700cal a day. I started increasing my calories to about 900 a day and im working out 4-5 a week. My diet consists of fruits, vegetables, and protein. (Not a whole lot of fruit because they still contain sugar. I do about 35 minutes of cardio and then 30 min of strength training (abs, arms, legs. i cant spend money on a gym because unfortunately their rates are crazy high. Am i doing this wrong? Will i not lose fat/gain muscle this way? Someone please help! Im so tired of being my size but nothing seems to work. Please im desperate

I remember taking the second semester of school off the swim team when I was 15. I started becoming obsessed with losing weight and would exercise hard for 15 minutes (until I was tired) every day. I remember how unhappy I was and how I would always give in to my emotional cravings. So glad I recovered a year later when I resumed swim and also that learned how to work out on my own during quarantine watching these videos (with better results! I also remember sneaking a bag of chocolate chips next to my bed at night those days pretty wild. Now instead of crazy dieting, I try to meet my daily nutritional needs with lots of vegetables! It feels great!

I actually love your entire mindset! I am currently on the same path of recovery and I started 2019 with your 100 ab challenge and actually became so addicted to feeling good during your workouts, I decided to stick to 30day challenges that won't take longer 15 min-30min a day and increasing a muscle group by the month. I also no longer see food as bad or good (used to be anorecix 6 years ago, not allowing myself more then 300kcal a day and I was in highschool. I love your entire brand so much. You went through so much and help others achieve their healthiest form by simple motivational pleasures. You are amazing!

Omg yet another reason I love this woman so much! I am in tears right now. Cassey, I can't thank you enough for saying all of this! This has been the hardest, most unhealthy year of my life and I am finally talking to a dietician and getting the help I need. Everything talked about here is exactly what I am learning! I finally feel like I am starting to get a grip on my unhealthy relationship with food. Finally feeling good just being me, enjoying my workouts again and getting good with food. I haven't binge eaten or snuck food in weeks because I got myself out of food jail!
