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!

YOU SURVIVED OCTOBER-FAST!

Congratulations! You went 30 days without candy! And even if you did cave in and have a piece or two, that’s still most of the month sans candy. Kudos! That wasn’t so bad, was it? Don’t be afraid to treat yourself every once in a while, but now you know you can go without that particular indulgence if you really want to. So next time you’re tempted in the check-out aisle or enticed by goodies at a party, remember that you once went a whole month without candy. You can pass on that one little piece. <3
