So usually I stay up all night and sleep through the day. I've done this for years and I think I will continue to do this, but it's never been a problem until recently. While I was in school, I was always busy. I woke up at 5am, rode three buses to get to school, ran up and down a four-story high school, walked a few blocks off campus for lunch, walked back and went home riding three buses, got home at 4pm and then stayed up till 12am doing work. I'm currently waiting my summer out and preparing for college, but other than that, there isn't really anything else for me to do. I've been here in Colorado for about a year now, but it's been somewhat hard for me to find real friends and a job (never worked outside of family businesses). My week mostly consists of me staying at home being bored or working out or sleeping, only going out when I need to run an errand or something family/college related. I find myself always feeling sick or constantly tired, which my mom was worried about, even though I get around 8-9 hours of sleep a day and find it strange because I had never felt like this running on 5 hours of sleep when I was in school.
Well I had decided enough was enough and I made a goal to focus on working out and becoming healthy (cause I thought the problem was me not being active enough) and looked up some nutrition and workout stuff on this site. I was really interested and did a shit-ton of research on everything about this and one thing stopped me. They had this thingy that tells you how many calories that you need to have every day in order for this shit to work based on body weight, age and height.
Mine was about 1500 calories.
I realized then why the hell I was so tired and sick all the damn time.
Since the summer started I've been eating less and less and less. I went from eating about 2000-2500 calories a day to eating about 400-900 calories a day. I had no clue I have been basically starving my body because I just ate when I was hungry and I never was hungry. I had a conversation with my sister about this earlier today and she told me that this was most definitely the source of my fatigue and told me that I need to eat more or my health would continue to deteriorate.
I'm very surprised and dissapointed in myself because of how I've been treating my body, but I plan on getting things back to normal before my classes start.
Love & Peace,
Rinny
