I am a ballerina dancer who suffered form anorexia for three years and who is finally eating a healthy, nutrition diet. I always denied having anorexia every time that my friends and my parents confronted me telling me that I was too skinny. I kept up this harmful behavior for three years until I was so skinny I fainted at one of my dance rehearsals and had to be hospitalized for a week. I was banned from returning to the ballet academy until I gained weight and felt healthy again. At the hospital I met with a nutritionist who created a sports nutrition diet plan to get me back on track gain by satisfying my daily caloric needs and providing me all of the necessary vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats. I have followed this plan for two months and I have gained a lot of muscle back and I am feeling energetic and strong enough to dance ballet.

My nutritionist told me that as soon as I gain five more pounds I can return to my dance academy and request that they take me back, for I would be at a health, stable weight for a girl my age and height. I don’t understand why I developed this eating disorder because I never wanted to look skinnier, I just gradually stopped eating but it wasn’t because I wanted to be thinner. I actually hated the way that I looked when I was super slim and when I was not eating enough, I looked like a dead person. Now that I have gained weight with my nutrition diet plan I look so good, I have curves again and boys are checking me out.

In today’s newspaper, on the health section, they published a list of five easy, simple quick weight loss tips which I am excited about trying out. I am always curious about anything mentioning weight loss because I am always trying to get skinnier; I am always looking forward to loosing a couple of pounds. I am not a heavy person but I am not slim either and I would love to be skinnier so that my clothes could fit better and so that I could look better in a bikini. If these tips do help me loose even one pound I will be very happy and I will probably share them with my family and friends

A quick weight loss tip listed on the newspaper was to make sure that your plate is composed of one third lean protein such as chicken or fish, and two thirds vegetables, which could be eaten cooked or raw. I find this is not hard to do, I can easily balance my meal plate to follow such advice, I am lucky that I love to eat vegetables so I am happy to make vegetables the main components of every meal. Another quick weight loss tip what to avoid eating processed foods as much as possible since they are very low in protein, vitamins and minerals and high in fat, preservatives, and refined carbohydrates which don’t add any substantial nutritional value to meals. This quick weight loss tip is a little harder for me to follow because I must admit that I love eating potatoes chips and other types of junk food snacks such as cheese balls and salty crackers.
