Eyeing the world

 I decided to write this to you. It's me, from the future, and I wish I could be by your side to tell you all this when you need to hear it. I know you've struggled a lot and it seems like there is no way out, but trust me: there is. I'm not yet on top of the hill you need to climb, but I'm through that initial shrubbery that was cutting you all over, and I've found some really tasty berries to eat and a stream of water to drink from.

On the day of my first weigh in, I weighed the same as on the day of my last fit test, so that's amazing. It gives me a bit of hope for when I'll be 60 kilos, and will want to maintain that. Now, I won't want to be counting calories even then. I want to continue this lifestyle of "I eat whatever I want and I train because it makes me feel good", but I'm not sure how I'll be doing that. So I did what everyone would do, which is: a google se...
