I feel like I've wasted a good bit of my 20's but today I'm ready to make the change I need. I enjoy doing things outdoors, handmade crafts, seeing new movies. I LOVE horror and The Walking Dead.

    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.
