healthier.happier.me

I mainly want to create this to tell others my story and to help others get on track to a HEALTHY lifestyle. I am recovering from a long battle with an eating disorder. I have started a new path in life to become a happy, confident, and healthy me.

I have never been secure with myself and never happy with the way I looked. After being hospitalized I discovered that this wasn’t going to be easy, and I knew it wasn't something I could overcome easily. It's hard. I have to work at it each and every day. Some days are harder than others, but I have the support of family and friends and hopefully you guys to get me through it. I want to be a motivation for others to be healthy and realize how beautiful they are inside and out.

I have never been overweight, but I was always kind of chunky and never really confident with myself. I took dance growing up, and got involved with cheerleading in high school (so I stayed rather active). I have just recently lost 25 pounds and I feel great! The best and most exciting part, even better than losing the weight is, I did it in a healthy way! I am so proud of myself and I honestly proved to myself something that I thought was unachievable.

I am at a healthy weight of 125lbs. and I am 5'5". This is something I thought I could never do or want to do. It is possible and if you have any will power what so ever you can do it too. Please ask questions if you have any. I will try to get the hang of this and get more details out about the tools and knowledge I have learned that have helped me achieve my goals!
