Getting to Know hEDS

Recommitting
I have wanted to lose weight since I can remember. I’ve been overweight, I’ve had an eating disorder and everything in between. It has not been an easy road mentally or physically up to this point. I’ve been “committed” to my journey more times than I can count, and I always stop for one reason or another. I always end up right back where I started. I’ve said “this is the last time I’m going to restart” more times than I’d like to admit. I really don’t even want to say it again. However, I am growing as a person, I am learning more about what I can and cannot handle, and what I can and cannot do. One of my biggest faults is that I give it absolutely everything in me, or I give it nothing. Frequently, I give it absolutely everything, get burnt out too quickly, then give up. Even at the start of this year. I tried to do 75 Hard, and about 25 days in, I fell off and tried to keep going, then I ended up with a flare up and used it as an excuse to forget the whole thing.

Week 3 of My 12-Week Fitness Challenge: Not Doing Good
Here I am, a quarter of the way through my 12-week fitness challenge and I've only lost 6 pounds thus far. And this past week was terrible in terms of eating and physical activity. The silly thing is that I know what my problem is, but I just can't seem to stay focused for longer than 12 hours at a time.

Getting to know an Aries
"Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained" That saying is an Aries in a nutshell. No matter what the situation or challenge is, good or bad, positive or negative, the Hold-My-Beer Attitude of an Aries is Unparalleled. Although strongest when focused, and intelligently tempering their action, an Aries tends to find it easier to express themselves in a more immature and reckless way, leaving a tornado trail of faded enthusiasm behind them.

Completion out of the void
Completion out of the void A Healer, or one who can Heal… By Akil-Kuumba Kelley Knowledge of Herbal Medicine is a gift that keeps giving, as glad as I am to be in this field, I never chose it. Instead, it descended upon me. I was first introduced to herbal medicine through foraging wild foods. Since I had learned that several wild plants are not only edible but quite tasty, I was enamored with the idea. I thus decided to make a wild foods cookbook as my high school senior project, even then I had not considered being an herbalist. As my school focused primarily on college prep the future was monotone as far as opportunity was concerned.

Living My Best Life Anyway
I was born with the gene for Spinocerebellar Ataxia, passed down from my dad, although the origin before that is unknown. A genetic anomaly, I guess. I also have two brothers. One is affected, one is not.
