She hardly ate anything, which led her to fatigue and weakness. The lack of food and nourishment would show on her face. She was so desperate to lose weight that she achieved her goal. She dropped from 108 to 65, but since she did not achieve this sustainably, she looked weak and malnourished.

Her lost confidence has somehow come back. She looked better than before, but the enthusiasm towards fitness took a back seat. She went back to the old diet habits, which again took her weight to 90kgs. Her stress of being overweight again got her into emotional eating. And this time
