Day 1

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.
