Meet Jackson

Mar 30, 2013

So we might as well get right down to the good stuff.

female; 27; 5'6"; 161# and 30% bf; goal 135# and 23% bf

I've been mostly uncomfortable with my body and appearance for the majority of my life.  In high school I developed an eating disorder which brought me down to 98#, but I realized how shitty I was being to my body and about-faced.  Unfortunately, I really pulled a true 180 and ended up about 180# instead.  It took the remainder of my high school years as well as a few of my college ones to get down to a reasonable 135#.  I looked good, I felt good, I was pretty healthy, but it didn't last.

Fast forward to a few months ago and I was back up at 170# (where I'd hovered for the past year or so).  I watched this hokey documentary on Netflix and just felt so... inspired?  Regardless, I signed up for MyFitnessPal and was off again in the right direction.

I want to do it right this time.  I have a pretty well-ingrained pattern of disordered eating, and I don't want that to follow me.  So I'm doing my best to keep well-nourished with healthy, whole options while also indulging in the 'good' stuff from time to time.  I'm also working in weight lifting, which I've never done before.  It's about more than a number on the scale; I want a body I can use and live in and be comfortable with.

Nice to meet you.
