My Body Knew Better Than I Did

I spent two years eating 1200 calories, convinced my body was broken because the scale barely moved. Everyone else seemed to melt away while I stayed the same size, just hungrier. I thought I was failing. Turns out there's research on this. Mice who maintained their weight during restriction lived the longest. The ones who lost the most died first. My body wasn't being stubborn. It was being smart. All those months I called myself weak for not shrinking, I was actually building resilience. My metabolism didn't crash. My energy stayed stable. I kept my strength. Now I eat normally and weigh the same as when I was starving myself. The difference is I stopped fighting my body and started trusting it. Sometimes staying exactly where you are is the bravest thing you can do. #BodyWisdom #MaintenanceMode #TrustYourBody #Health #Diet
