in Introduce Yourself
Hey all! Just wanted to introduce myself and say how glad I am that I found MFP.

I've been everywhere from an obese child to an anorexic college freshman. I'm finally in a better place in life and want to end my final college year healthy, strong, and ready to take on the "grown up" world!

Though it's taken a while, I've learned that "skinny" isn't as important as having great health habits that will stick with you for a lifetime. I used to be a 115lb cardio queen who would exhaust herself with hours on the elliptical and in Zumba classes. No longer!!

Thanks to a new found love (okay... obsession:laugh: ) with yoga and finding liberation with running I'm on my way to more clarity and happiness. Just recently, I've also dived into the wonder that is weight training. I don't really have a "goal weight", as much as I just want to keep exploring what great things my body can do!

I'd love to make friends on here so, let's be friends!

Current stats:
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 138
B35/W26/H38

Goal: I'll know when I get there. :flowerforyou:

    hey, wow sound like we have a bit in common. Im a girl, and ive been struggling with an eating disorder for years. I spent most of the last 8 months in treatment and when I got out I relapsed, well I had never really gotten better but anyhow... I recently realized that I don't want to die and im working on becoming more fit and healthy, im tired of always feeling like im dying, id rather not be 90lbs and instead be fit and happy. id love to be friends. :)
