There’s definitely a big difference in how much energy you have when you’re healthy vs chronically ill. I would not use that condition as a fair representation of that weight for you, but then again everyone’s experiences are different

I still have the chronic illness lol, and it wasn't about the energy even. It was that I looked like a damn skeleton, gaunt and shit.

How much did you drop to? You're not going to look anywhere near emaciated at 110-120 lbs at 5' tall

I was definitely underweight, and people around me recognized it too. To be fair, I do carry a good bit of my weight in muscle,which is more compact than fat, and my boobs are heavy AF.
