I'm not just trying to lose weight. I'm becoming healthy. I'm doing this for me. I'm doing this because it's time for a change. This is my journey to becoming fit.

 

So here’s the thing

Recently, I’ve been becoming a bit too worried about how I look. I’ve started having little panic attacks when I think about the food I’ve eaten or a workout I didn’t do. When I go to school, all I can focus on is comparing other girls’ bodies to mine. And most of the time, they win. It’s beginning to get out of hand and it’s causing a lot of problems in my life. I can feel myself shutting down and leaning towards bad habits. Recently I realized that if I keep going like this, I’ll probably develop a serious eating disorder. With the help of this wonderful Tumblr community, I’ve decided I need to act now and beat this thing before it gets worse. And as much as I love Tumblr, I think that right now, I need to step away for a while. Just because I open it up and my dash is flooded with all these fitspo and thinspo pics. They used to motivate me, but now I’m just comparing myself to them and not liking what I see. 
I’ve decided to talk to my parents about some things, which terrifies me. They’ve been through a lot, and they don’t really need my problems too. However, I can’t do this alone. I don’t want to do this anymore, you know? I want to go back to how I used to be, when I didn’t care how people saw me. But like I said, the thought of trying to talk about this with my family scares me. So if you could, you know, send some prayers and positive thoughts my way it would be greatly appreciated. 
I’ll miss you all dearly and I wish you the best of luck on your journeys.
P.S. you should all follow http://dontwanttobeanorexic.tumblr.com/ because she probably saved my life today by telling me I need to get help.  

I re-looked at the people I’m following and unfollowed some of the unhealthier weight loss blogs.

Only healthy weight loss and fitspo please. :)

This will be very helpful while I’m in Chicago for a week since I will be eating out for pretty much every meal.
