Rant. A message I had regarding the picture of my stomach: ‘its good the way u train cass, but having uur %bodyfat for a woman aint healthy, half ur reproductive hormones shut down, u shouldnt promote it x women carry more fat for reason’ Now, while I appreciate the aim of this message wasnt to offend and I do believe the persons intentions were well natured, the content is far far FAR from being correct. 7 years ago I had no menstruation cycle, very little energy and a severe eating disorder. My body was constantly fighting off one virus or another. To put it bluntly I was a bit of a mess. I was 7stone 10pounds and had 24% body fat. I am now 10stone 7 pounds and 16.9% body fat. I have a regular menstruation cycle, I train sensibly but consistently. I eat enough calories for my lean body mass, basal metabolic rate and activity level and have a clean grasp of my macro nutrient needs which keeps me lean, but full of life. I revise this constantly and monitor where I am to ENSURE I am as HEALTHY as I can be. I havent got to where I am now by depriving myself of anything. However somebody (who has never met me and knows NOTHING about me) has taken it upon them selves to judge MY health through looking at one picture. Not only have they done this but they have gone so far as to say I am not an advocate for health!! Any body that knows me knows that this is simply ABSURD. I can quite honestly say that I am the healthiest I have ever been. Energy levels are great. Sleep is great. I am getting stronger AND leaner. I will not keep this body fat % the whole year round! I wouldnt want to! Im not advocating that anybody should either but once in a while Ill have a little shout about the fact I feel good, because I can. If I was a male I would get congratulations and people would ask for tips... There is a wrong and a right way to get to where I am. Saying that a picture of my stomach is unhealthy is ridiculous. You know nothing about me or my health. I dont usually rise to ignorance, but today I make an exception.
