I am a junior in at Liberty University and like most students, I have been struggling with weight over the past few years. When I finally made the serious effort to work on that this fall, I found that reading about other people's journeys really inspired me to work harder. I also realized that there are very few motivational blogs for college students. So I'm determined to fix that.
Being in college and leading a busy life does not excuse me from taking care of myself. And I honestly believe that culture has allowed college students to fall into that stigma. The "Freshman Fifteen" is a good example of that. It is important to live a balanced life as the actions we take in college are likely to become habits in the future.
A couple of months ago I became really serious about living a balanced life and losing weight. Since then, I have lost fifteen pounds and I feel great! Some weeks are better than others though. Some weeks I lose four pounds and then there are weeks like this one where I lost about half a pound. And it's discouraging but it is important to move on and try harder the next week.
I am a very self-motivated person and my wish is to spread this motivation to others, so that they can be uplifted and encouraged in their efforts to become more healthy.
I'm also going to include different tips to losing weight in college. It's not easy to eat right when mostly everything on campus is grab and go, so it is important to look into what is a smart option and what is the right option.
It is important to lead a healthy lifestyle so I hope you'll join this journey with me!
