~ At the start of high school I struggled with an eating disorder causing me to ultimately take 6 years of fighting crash diets before realizing Healthy is the only way to be truly successful. I started healthy living in June 2011 and this is me today!
~ While I was in high school I also faced serious knee problems (chronically dislocating kneecap) and had to have reconstructive surgery. The procedures left unable to be at all active for 3.5 years making the crash diets worse. Happily today my knee's have stopped dislocating. I still can't do most activities like biking or running but with healthy eating and walking I've lost the weight for good!
~I'm 5'5 by the way.
