Girl Growing Small
My name is Risa. I'm 24 years old and live in Boca Raton, Florida. I have battled with my weight since I was about 6 years old, and for the last couple years, I was finally winning the fight. But I slipped, gaining back 36lbs from my lowest weight in ages. Now I'm buckling down again to shed the weight so I can look on the outside the way I feel on the inside. But the road isn't always straight and smooth. For more information on my life-long weight loss journey, please view my first post here. This blog exists for me, to keep me on track and motivated. If you don't like personal posts or personal opinions, you took the wrong fork at Albuquerque!

**Please note that I am not a nutritionist, personal trainer, doctor, or in any way professionally trained in matters of health. Any advice I provide is based on my own thorough research and experiences. Please consult your physician or other health advisor for your personal needs.**

fatfithealthy: Figured it was time to compare my face profile, since I haven’t yet.  I feel like this is the most drastic show of my weight loss since August 2011 so far.  I didn’t expect the difference to be so huge.  I feel like a new person and now I can see that I LOOK like a new person to! I was nearly 334 lbs at the start,  I was 305 lbs when I officially began to workout and change my diet more drastically.  I hope this proves to anyone struggling, that no matter how far you have to go or how much you have to lose, you CAN succeed, even if it it is hard, even if you are scared.  Want anything bad enough, put the time and effort in, connect with other supportive people and you will have no choice but to fail until you succeed.  Failures are simply there to give you things to strive for, so don’t let them get you down, think of them as a stepping stone to something greater. Much love to you all.  I am so grateful to have this chance to share my journey with each and everyone of you.  &lt;3
