Metabolism Woes

I know my metabolism must really be dead since I've been restricting to under 700 cals a day since Jan.2 (minus a binge or two) and I'm MAINTAINING. So I've decided I need to eat a bit more for a few days, trying to get out of starvation mode. I'm purposely trying to not count my calories, and listening to my body when I'm hungry. Did okay yesterday, doing okayish today (didn't eat before yoga so now I'm STARVING). I hope to end this on Monday AM, but if my weight goes up more than 3lbs, I'm ending there.

And to motivate myself as to why I have to do the thing I hate doing most I'm posting a bunch of thinspo. As I need my metabolism to work if I ever want to look like this:

    loved the thinspo hun, and maybe up the exercise? that helps your body burn more calories even after you've stopped exercising. <3 stay strong

    Eeek! That metabolism shut down is the pits. I am so terrified that I am screwing mine up as we speak. Hope it revs up.

    Oooh, pretty pictures.

    yes, maybe you need to change your exercise routine. the body can get used to one set of exercise and then stop burning as many calories doing said exercise. perhaps you just need to shake it up a bit!

    Starvation modes sucks...so it may help to eat a little more, do give it a kick.
    Seems like you're doing very well!
    :D

    Thanks for the thinspo, it is well needed for me. :)

    Upping the calories for a bit seems like a good idea. Plateaus suck.

    I'm always afraid of my metabolism shutting down, maybe eating more or exercising more for a couple days would help.
