Re: extreme CRON (was: Re: Hi: Any Advice?)

I guess the difference is that on this board when someone posts who is 5'11 "

and weighs 118 (male) or is 5' 7 1/2 " and weighs 90 pounds (female), we tell

it like it is. We warn that extremism is dangerous.

I am 5'4 " and weigh 115. In my entire adult life I was once as low as108

(pre-CRON) - at a time when I was quite ill and not eating. All by bones

stuck out. I was so " concentration camp " thin that I was terrified I was

dying of cancer. I would not want to go there again.
