Girl Growing Small - True story: When I went to the involvement fair my college had, the sorority table girls wouldn’t even speak to me, only snickered about my weight when they thought I was out of earshot. And I’ll admit to being overweight, but I was certainly not the largest girl there. :/ People just suck sometimes.

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!

It doesn’t matter if you’re 10lbs overweight or 300lbs overweight. No one has any right to judge you by your appearance. Terribly sorry to hear what you went through. I’ve been through that.
