One day at a time...

I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I remember going on a diet for the first time when I was in the second grade. Over the past few years, I have begun to make slow lifestyle changes. I've become more active and participate in outdoors activities. The only problem is that now my body doesn't match who I am. People don't look at me and think "I bet she loves hiking." It's more like "I bet she loves donuts." And that's so not who I am!
So, no more excuses. I firmly believe ...

Personal Information:
My name is Tori and after living all over the country, I returned to my New England home almost 2 years ago!

I love to be active but have struggled with weight and fitness my whole life. This whole journey is both motivated and impeded by my PCOS and degenerative disc disease.

Other Information:
I'm 5'9" and suspect I have a large frame (my hands and feet are HUGE!) but have never been thin enough to know for sure.

My favorite hobbies are cooking, reading, and knitting...but since that combination has led to significant weight gain over the years, I've taken up running.

You're right, I haven't been at a healthy size since childhood. I find that interesting that you were 5'9" and 185 ish and didn't feel like that was the right weight. Like you I'm just waiting to see. emoticon

Well, I live in West Africa, so not too many reasons to wear cashmere. I still have a bunch of sweaters since they never really go out of style, and they never wear out. They are in a box in my bff's basement. if I ever move somewhere cold I am set.

I used to work for Lands' End. I had a whole stack of swimsuits that I paid 5-10 bucks for (and don't even get me started about the cashmere!) Now I am in the States so rarely that I have to bite the bullet and pay retail!
