Losing Weight, Gaining Life

This is not a pro-ana blog. I’d be a hypocrite if I said I was against those though.

Real anorexia is a tragic disease and I feel for the people who have it. However, like many others, I have (previously) forced myself to live an anorexic/bulimic lifestyle. I lost a lot of weight doing it but ultimately found myself giving up too much of my life in the pursuit of thinness.

That was in my late teens and now, ten years later, I have found myself on the opposite end of the spectrum. In the past few years, being obese has kept me from doing many of the things that I would love to do.

I don’t want to be the size of a Victoria’s Secret model or have a thigh-gap you could drive a car through. I just want to be fit enough to climb a mountain or go white water rafting. Looking good in a swimsuit wouldn’t hurt, of course, but I’d like to think that there’s more to life than that.
