I enjoyed working out, but nothing serious. However, when I moved to the US from Colombia, I tried cupcakes for the first time and gained so much weight. I was not aware of it, until my clothes did not fit anymore and i decided to change my eating habits. Unfortunately, i went to the extreme and became anorexic, losing 30 pounds in about 4 months. I lost my period, i was sick and was in a bad mood everyday. Then i went to college and for the first time i was by myself. I didn't have a roommate so I stayed in my dorm the whole day, eating boxes of cereal. I not only gained back the 30lb, but even more. I started to have terrible binges and developed exercise bulimia. I would eat and then spend hours in the cardio room, thinking that it was ok, but it wasn't. When my mom saw me, she knew she had to do something about it. She got me a personal trainer who taught me everything about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Currently, I am still struggling with binges, but since I started lifting weights, I have made so many friends at the gym that support me and give me really good advice.
