hey guys!
Wow- really glad to have found this community! 
Just an intro: I am a 24 year old female recovering from an eating disorder that started on a small scale before I was able to talk and expanded until it took over my whole life. I do not know life without it. At my current height of 5'6 &1/2 my weight has gone from the 120's to 190lbs and back again, over and over and over.  obsessive exercise has been part of my life a few times over the years, I had to stop working out a few times due to injury from over exercise, or doctors orders.  I will NOT join a gym because I know that I can't handle that right now, so I am trying to do more active out doors/in home work outs.  I've been in recovery for three years. including intensive outpatient hospital program.

This journal is a track record for me as I start a new work out routine for the first time in years. I am finally allowed to work out and I feel confident that I can do this the healthy way and keep it under control.  I am basing my work out routines on this amazing website: (http://www.strength-training-woman.com/strength-training-exercises.html).

I wanted to try to eat according to my hospital meal plan but I am finding it a bit difficult to consume so much and not obsess.  I know it is important for me to eat a lot and often when I'm working out.

I put on about 30 pounds since December so it's... pretty gross.  Currently i weigh in at 160lbs.

I will be healthy. I will beat this bitch that's lived with me my whole life.
