So, this blog is my weight journey. Now, I am sure you have seen hundreds of those that look all the same with the girl who may be a little bit fluffy looking to shed a few. I am not that girl.
I am Christina, a 21 year old Senior in college who has struggled with my body image my entire life. I have been to nutritionists and weight-loss clinics, had trainers and physical therapists... hospitalized for anorexia, treatment for bulimia, rehab for exercise addiction, and I am terrified with the scale. My 5'4'' frame has been a size 14 and a size 00 and starting this blog I am a size 2-4.
I am really tired. Physically, emotionally, spiritually and I would really like to stop stressing about my weight and start loving the person that I am. Also, I would like to stay healthy.
I also deal with a lot of medical issues. You already know about the ED's and what not, but I also have chronic pain in my hip and spine, plus arthritis. What I would love most is to be fit, healthy, happy, active and wear a smile on my face every day.
Now, I am NOT saying that you should follow what I do. This is a blog in a way for me to be accountable for every day that I live, eat and exercise.
I will have my healthy days, and I will also have my unhealthy days.
Please keep this in mind, I am not here to supply weight loss tips or advice to ANYONE. I just want to document what I do, be accountable, and see how it can help me get over what I have been dealing with. I want to be able to do things in a healthy way, but for me and my struggles, it is very difficult not to get carried a way one way or another. Please be ware of these disclaimers.... and here goes.
