Yup, that was me - a Starving Woman! LOL! My family has even joked that I should name the baby "Ethiopia!" Ha! (no I am not encouraging anyone to starve themselves - just kidding. I mostly did 1600 cal per day but I did get to my lowest ever adult weight)

OMG coffee just came out my nose!! that's hilarious (and actually is kinda pretty!!!) One time my husband dreamed we had a baby girl and I wanted to name her "Ethanie".
