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!

I was really sick for a month and a half and I had terrible pains so I could not exercise.. I lost 2 kilos because of the illness (I could barely eat) but now I feel better.. I want to start exercising again but I'm completely out of motivation.. Besides I wasn't eating well.. I'm so depressed! I don't know where to start.. Please help me :( thank you! You've always been a big help Risa!

First off, glad you’re not sick anymore!

Starting up again can be difficult. The trick is not to think of it as going back to what you were doing before. Think of it as a new beginning. A clean slate. Pick up some healthy foods (fresh produce, lean protein, whole grains, etc.), start going for walks every other day, and start counting your glasses of water (shoot for 8 glasses or 64oz a day). Take it one step at a time and have faith in yourself. You can do this!
