I have had a long and ugly struggle with weight and body issues from a young age. Like a lot of young women who keep their this issue in the dark, I struggled with an eating disorder from 2002-2008--6 long years! I knew the process of becoming healthy wouldn't happen over night, but I needed change. I was aware the immediate result would be weight gain, but I was tired of fighting this battle alone and I wanted to have children and a family one day.
The picture I posted as my 'before' picture was the straw that broke the camels back. I didn't realize I had gotten that heavy, and within 3.5 months I had lost 30lbs the healthy way. Fast forward 3 years and here I am. I have an office job, and live in a new city. I needed some excitement and challenge so I joined CrossFit.
It jolted that fire in me that I haven't seen in a while, and I found myself drinking to kool aid. I bought the shoes, jump rope, new work out duds, supplements and I just cant get enough!!! With a wedding in sight next year I am more motivated than ever to look like a bo$$! This time I am healthy and working toward being the fit and beautiful woman I've always known was inside.
