I am a student finishing up my English Lit degree with a love for children's story books. I love being outdoors, hiking, camping, gardening, walking, but I also love curling up in a cozy spot and reading and writing. I have been struggling with weight issues for as long as I can remember and have never quite been able beat that size 12. My goals in joining the livestrong community is to transform my lifestyle into a much healthier and active existence.
