I feel like I need to clarify before this ends up being a post about being in shape that it was meant in a way of I now have significant POTS - no hate to you guys!! Just want to be mindful as someone also in recovery from AN and I don’t want it to turn into anything that could impact anyone :))

I went to my boyfriends brothers track meet this weekend. Almost cried seeing all the athletes bodies and knowing I used to be in such amazing shape, working out every day, and now I can’t brush my own hair every day

At least for me i definitely mean that more in the regards of what I used to be able to do, looking fit was just one gratifying part of the ability I had to use my body in ways I enjoyed. I also have POTS and a few other things that have disabled me.

Yeah no you’re totally fine!! I’m so sorry if you saw it pop up as a reply to you at first, that was a total accident so I deleted it and re commented as fast as I could. I mostly just thought of where it COULD lead to and wanted to clarify before that happened is all! Better to be safe than sorry ya know :)
