I'm trying to get rid of all of the negative things in my life that cause me negative stress. My weight is one of those things that causes me stress and I need to lower it. I'm super into this whole journey and I try my best not to be obsessed cause I'm still recovering from ED so it's slow but it's happening. I love sewing and wish I could start a business. I enjoy most things "nerdy/geeky" and animals are my favorite.
