A Better Relationship with Food and SELF!

[Nessa]

Hello!

 

My name is Nessa and obviously I am new to the NerdFitness group.

 

For me, this is my final push to getting a good grip on my eating and exercising habits. I'm 24 and am graduating this spring with my bachelors in Art.  I have been on the road of recovery from an eating disorder for the past two years. Hopefully, with this diet, and the support here, I will be able to make the permenate steps I need, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

 

Time to get this ball rolling! I've had some health breakthroughs and am able to exercise and get into gear! I honestly don't have any local support, so I will be here often.

 

My goals are to develop a healthy relationship with food, with myself, and have a consistent lifestyle that I am comfortable with in all aspects. I already do not eat out. I don't eat processed foods. I tend towards organic and eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies. (unfortunately, mostly fruits). 

 

My body in some people's perspective is fine, but I would like to get down to a lower body fat percentage. I hate running. But I guess I love to do pull-ups at home. I've only been able to start working out for a few weeks, so I am trying to see what my body can do now. I really would like to change what I used to have as a sickly pathetic muscle-less girl to a healthy,toned, and strong body.

Hey, KAZatarian!

 

My emphasis in the photography! I enjoy Fibers and ceramics as well. Its good see an another art enthusiast here. I enjoy viewing art more than making it myself, at this time.
