okay, I figured I should make myself a little bit more real to all of you! so I’ll bullet-point some facts about myself as an introduction =]
- I love watching/playing sports - especially lacrosse, soccer, horseback riding, and skiing
- I love music - whether it’s singing in public (or in the shower lol), or even just listening to it
- I recently graduated college and am now living, studying, and doing a fellowship in Asia
- I love languages and travelling
- I am a Christian, so you may see some spiritual inspiration posts on my page — I can’t help it :] my faith is a big part of who I am and a necessary role in my overcoming the deep-rooted issues that cause my comfort-eating/calories-restricting/un-healthy eating and exercising habits
My story:
- well, i am trying to lose weight…and have been since i was 5. one of those ‘sad’ stories where i was chubby while my adolescent body was figuring out what to do with itself during those dreaded ‘awkward years.’ when my body figured out that i was never having that growth spurt my doctor expected, i ended up filling out rather nicely (i never noticed this until looking back at photos 6 years later). unfortunately my ‘fat-girl thoughts’ from early puberty never actually went away with all that baby-chubbiness, and i never felt pretty or worthy of the amazing people i came into contact with. then i went to college, and gained the freshman 15 - and then some - my sophomore year (ironically after losing weight freshman year). Now I am a year out of university and I’m about 15-ish pounds down. I am working through my emotional/control relationship with food/exercise by and have an ultimate goal of finding confidence and self-value. <3
