A New Start: 2021
Everybody always talks about the new year like it's a magic portal where everything changes, and then they get disappointed when everything is the same as last year. It's the same thing every year, but "new year, new me" takes effort and most people don't do anything to make it come true, this year I'm doing it, let me explain to you how I'm truly getting my fresh start for 2021.

Inside the Mind
I have been diagnosed with anorexia for six months, after struggling with my eating for five years and it is the hardest thing that I have to go through in my life. I never thought it would get this bad, but it has and it has been extremely hard to through recovery. Everyone in my life acts like it is something that will go away overnight but it is really not that easy, especially with all of the things that cross my mind everyday. Everything written below is how I feel everyday, just to show you what its is like. For some context, I am five foot tall and i have extreme emetophobia which is the fear of vomiting.

Correlation of Obesity and Mental Health Issues
There is a big dilemma in what causes what, i.e., does being obese causes mental health issues, or does psychiatric disorder push a person more towards being obese? Not every obese person has the same thing, but it has been in studies conducted at the Texas Health Science Center and NOO that obese people are at higher risk for depression and anxiety.

How My Eating Disorder Saved Me
Eating disorders are strange beasts. They come in all shapes and sizes. Mine came in the form of a huge black mass. Something indescribably dark and consuming. It sat on my chest and weighed me down. It drowned me like an anchor chained to my ankles, pulling me deeper and deeper into an ocean of pain. It bore into my soul until there was only a shadow of me left. It could have killed me.

What Nourishes me Destroys me
Not many people know me online anymore. I have stayed well hidden for quite some time. I'm only now starting to become 'vocal' again. I'd like to start with something that I am very serious and passionate about. Something I don't want to joke about at all.

The battle of overcoming my eating disorder.
When I was little, I had a normal, awesome childhood. I was always running around, playing with my brother and just doing what kids do. When I got older, it was like overnight, that I noticed my thighs were thicker, my stomach had some extra weight on it and I thought to myself, "How did this happen." I wasn't upset about it, until everyone around me started talking about my weight. Telling me I was too pretty to weigh so much, that for a lady my thighs were too big and one summer I still remember the day I was told my legs were too big to be wearing shorts.
