I’m 18 and I’m starting over for the very last time.

Hello!! My name is Liz Nava. I am 18 years old from Arizona. I have always truffled with my weight and struggled with binge eating disorder and other eating disorders as well. There have been many times I have told myself I want to lose weight and I want to better myself, but I end up gaining it all back and not staying to it. I want to takes life back. I want to be happy and not feel bad about my body. I want to look good in pictures and want to grow up to be healthy. I’m ready to do it. I truly am now and I’ve decided to take it one step at a time - small goals and little by little. Anyone here around 18 that wants to help keep each other accountable? :) I need some good fitness buddies.

    If this is truly the last time you will ever start, then you must not ever stop, because weight, health, and eating will last the rest of your life. Don’t commit to a diet, commit to a life of healthy eating. Then do the best you can each day. Accept that there will be good days and bad days, easy days and hard days. Look for ways to make it easier for you. Take a short vacation occasionally if you need to, but never quit.
