Hi! My name is Lex, Lucy, or Reyne (Reyne might be easier for you to remember), and I'm from Spokane, WA but I live now in Helena, MT while I go to school.
I'm really bad at introductions, but I wanted to introduce myself a little bit and maybe find people to make friends with? I'm 18 and currently on my fourth year of college (I went to a 2-year community college from when I was 15-17 and decided to go all 4 years here at my 4-year institution). I'm double majoring in chemistry and biology and minoring in psych, hence the full 4 years despite all the transfer credits (I want to go into neurology- either practice or medical research). This means I am super busy and stressed half the time!
As far as my weight goes- I will admit I am not overweight. But I do feel "overfat." My goal IS to lose weight- my scale pegged me at 126.5ish today, and I'd like to get down to 113 lbs- but honestly I just want to live a healthier lifestyle over all. I am just under 5'4" and I have tiny bones and a fast metabolism (but I love sugar way too much and eat candy like tootsie rolls by the BAG full), so I feel set apart already from most people who are looking to lose weight. I used to be what I considered really fat- 155 lbs- and I used to think my metabolism was awfully slow, but then I realized I was eating over a pound's worth of calories each day and sitting on my *kitten* :P My weight goes up and down depending upon my mood, stress level, and such. I've struggled with eating disorders and still struggle with depression and controlling my cognition, and I suppose that's the real reason why, in the 4 years I've been more health-conscious, I've never reached my goal.
I have to take BC to control ovulation and cyst formation. I don't have PCOS, but I had an ovarian cyst last October that burst and I seriously thought I was dying. My body hates the hormones. I get really sick and end up throwing up at least once per pack of pills, and if I don't vomit, I just am so sick that I can't stand even the thought of food.
I have a certain lipase problem. I'm not sure what it is- haven't ever been legitly diagnosed with anything- but milk fats (or any cow's fat) and certain saturated fats make me super ill. Even enough unsaturated fats make me violently ill. On top of all of this, most raw veggies make me feel sick! It makes eating really difficult, and I guess it makes sense why I basically eat a TON of sugar and avoid red meats and pork products.
Anyway, all of that boring stuff aside, HI! I'm new! Motivate and support me!
