::body:image:pitfalls::


Perhaps it's time to share the struggles that I've been having (and hiding) - it might be cathartic for me to share it with the world (or whoever is taking the time to read my ramblings) and it might help someone along the way - who knows? 


I've been struggling with food for quite a while now - I can't say"for as long as I can remember" because before the age of 15 I was pretty thin and I ate whatever I wanted with no repercussions and during that time I really didn't care either. But then puberty happened and it all went downhill from there. 
I was 15 years old when I went on my first diet - The Beverly Hills Diet (garbage...really...)and during that point in my life I really began hating myself and the body I was in. It's crazy because social media wasn't even around during that time and I can't imagine what young women go through with their bodies today...everything is so much more accessible...so much more in your face...
