I am not a writer. In fact, English was my worst subject in school. So why do I want to start writing? Becase I need to. Hello. My name is Amanda but I go by Manda. I'm 24 nearly 25 (eek) just graduated from grad school and got a great job in public health. I love my life. Now.
My story.
Growing up I was a dancer and a competitive gymnast. At one point in my life I even had a 6-pack. Which looking back is really weird for a 12 year old girl. After multiple injuries and setbacks I quit both in the 7th grade and that's when life went downhill. In 7th grade I was 5'3 and 85lbs. In 8th grade I was 5'8 and 180 lbs. Quite a turnaround. I went through a hell-ish puberty and awkard stage. The weight slowly crept up through undergrad until magically at 21 I was 5'10, 235ish pounds. I hated myself. I blamed it on my newly diagnosed hypothyroidism and the fact my knee is jacked for life after an injury in high school.
For the last 3 and a half year I have been fighting. Fighting for me and being healthy. I've finally won the battle. But the war is never over.
So I plan to write. My daily struggles, motivations, battles with temptations, thoughts, feelings, my life.
Trust me it won't be pretty....but it will be honest.
