5'1, 23F. I've been maintaining around 118-120 lbs then went on a extreme diet last fall. Dropped almost 10 lbs in a month, felt miserable as hell but surprisingly didn't lose strength back then. Maybe because I was getting most of my calories from protein and pushing myself hard at the gym. I was able to do 3-5 chin ups and squatted/hip thrusted the heaviest in my life.
But of course, that life was unsustainable as I was always feeling cold and tired. I'm also still in college so I really couldn't focus on studying AT ALL. After that, my binge eating habits peaked.....and it spiralled so quickly. I did have some binge eating habits before, but it was never this bad. I started binging almost every single day for months, all the way up to summer. At least I was still hitting the gym though I can't exactly remember if I was slacking a bit. Even if I did, I only dropped the workout weight just a little. Slowly, I gained 14 pounds back, got shocked and scared of my health, which made me try eating normally again.
But ever since, I feel like I lost my core strength COMPLETELY, I can only lift 80% ish of the weight I used to work out with before, can't do any chin ups, and I just look fluffier. I feel like I just can't go back. I don't want to look, and most importantly, feel like this forever. What am I doing wrong? How should I be training? What should I do?
I am so desperate I'd do anything to go back before last year's dieting...I hate I did this to myself. Please help.
