Day #1

This is my first ever blog post! I wanted to start this blog because I want to document and share how I will start to become a healthier person. I have always been on the smaller side, thanks to great genes. The one thing I have never really been is really healthy.

For almost 4 years, starting my freshman year in college, I was always sick. I was not in a lot of pain, but I never actually felt good either. After countless tests from doctors and multiple diagnosis that did nothing, I finally decided that I was going to have to do this on my own. The first step for me was seeing an allergist. Come to find out, I have food sensitivities. They are like less intense versions of food allergies, but instead of causing an allergic reaction, they make you feel sick. Did I mention that the mass of my diet was on the list of foods that I have problems with? That was a major blow to my diet.

Since then I have cut out most dairy and started to eat a little better, but I don't think that it is enough. I am ready to do what it takes to be a really healthy person. I know that this is easier said then done, which is why I will need helpful tips and advice about different foods and workouts that can help me reach my goal.

What I am trying to accomplish has nothing to do with size or shape. It has to do with me finally being able to feel alive and energetic when I wake up in the morning; and not feeling like I need caffeine to get through my day.
