it feels like just about every year, we wake up on the first of January with these ideas of grandiosity, that this is going to be the year that we finally make a change. we may even begin the year making legitimate steps towards enacting whatever new behavior we want, whether that be reading more, exercising more, or finally losing the weight that we've been holding on to.
these past few years, i've learned quite a bit about myself. i struggled with weight in college, developing some disordered behaviors and thought processes that i fought my way through conquering. unfortunately, over the years since, i've put back on the weight and then some. i'm in a much healthier state of mind, but i'd still like to lose the weight so that i can feel comfortable in my own skin and stave off any health problems associated with overweight in the future. once i started graduate school, i found that the struggles i was having with anxiety and depression all my life reached an all-time high and i had to seek help. i faced some academic hardship during this time, but now am in treatment and feeling great.
i'm in a new place this year than i was in the past. i'm more focused, less anxious, more confident, and much more motivated. this year, i'm driven to make a change and to succeed in medical school, to be the best person and future doctor i can be.
this blog is going to be a chronicle of my journey towards fitness and academic success, so i'll be treating it as a fitblr/studyblr. if either of these things interest you, go ahead and follow me along on this journey.
maybe together, we can both make a change.
