Hiya. I started this blog before my first year of college because I was very concerned about gaining the 15 or so extra pounds they say freshman gain due to large meal plans and lack of exercise. Especially since I am a culinary major and also worked in the cafe doing baked goods. I am a ovo-lacto-vegetarian, I have been for four years. I'm also a recovering bulimic, I have had this problem since my senior year of high school.....But I beat the freshman fifteen, and actually lost almost double the weight!
I am still on my weight loss/fitness journey towards recovery. I hope I can help those struggling as well.

So, everyone who follows my blog knows the whole point of it was to avoid the notorious freshman 15 pound weight gain. (Also to help focus on my eating disorder recovery and nutrition). Well guys, here is my progress:
At the beginning of the year, I was about 140 pounds. Now, I weigh about 110-115, depending on the day. I run about 5 miles on the treadmill at college every day. I restrict myself to 1100 calories, for my body type this is acceptable- I am a 5 ft tall, petite girl as you can see. I used to vomit everyday instead of eating healthy. Now most of my diet is salads, vegetables, usually a small snack or two a day, and just generally good food. I keep it all down, most of the time now. I have become obsessed with exercising, my doctor says it is still a form of an eating disorder. But I consider working out a lot more healthier than vomiting. Even though my freshman year is over, I still am going to post everyday. Keep track of what I do. It’s a lifestyle for me now.
My new goal is to get abs. Abs people can see. Not just lose weight and beat bulimia for college. I want to be fit and healthy, for life. I might rename the blog when summer starts. But I wanted to say thank you to all who have supported my journey. It really means a lot. All of you who have fitness blogs or are on your own journeys… don’t give up. Make it a lifestyle too. If I can do it, you can too :)

Recently, I got an ask telling me I do not eat enough (or I haven’t been recently.)
What if you reach the end of the day, you are under your recommended caloric intake, and you’re just not hungry… Do you eat anyway?
