I'm 23 but still feel like I'm 17.  Some may call it immaturity I call it fun.

Basically I try and eat when I'm hungry and when I do eat...eat balanced, portioned meals.  I've struggled with eating and body image over the last few years...going in both extremes...from starving to eating everything in sight.   I've inherited a lot of my mom's views on eating/weight and I'm working hard to shred all of that from my mind.  I love being active...I played basketball in high school and could've played at a christian college but I was pretty messed up back then ...but that's the past and I'm thankful that I went through that because it makes me stronger today.  Nowadays I don't think that any food is necessarily bad, but rather they aren't as nutritious as others.  Moderation is key right?

The past is the past...today is the future.  Live for today..hope for tomorrow.  Run like you mean it.
