I struggle with being authentic on tumblr. I know…I am just one voice among thousands upon thousands but because some people I know IRL know about this tumblr and who I am, I struggle with revealing just how much I struggle with weight and food and all of this shit…and the fact that yes, I swear to make a point sometimes…this is who I am. 

I am done with being too nice. I am done with pretending to be this perfect healthy person. I am so done with trying to tailor my image into this squeaky clean I-don't-even-know what.

So let's start again.

Hi, my name is Serena. I really like magical realism. I sometimes believe I am a fairy-mermaid-princess. I like to draw. I like food, a lot. I am mostly vegetarian. Sometimes I eat fish. I'm not happy about this. I love the taste of cheese. I try not to eat it. I try to avoid wheat and gluten. Sometimes I forget that I have actual reasons behind why I do what I do. 

I am 5'3". I am not actually fat, but I want to lose weight. I am 21 years old. I have never had a real boyfriend. I want to be a size 0. I'm probably a size 4 or 6 right now. I haven't weighed myself in about half a year. I struggle with compulsive over-eating of sorts. 

I used to hate working out, but now I  really enjoy yoga, dance and many other forms of exercise. I have many, many fitness DVDs. I also like doing Youtube videos (like Blogilates and Tara Stiles yoga). 

From now on I will try to be as authentic as possible with you guys. Because I believe the tumblr weightless and fitness communities can be positive places for people struggling with weight and fitness goals to raise each other up. 

I may start doing monthly check-ins here on tumblr. Like a big post recapping my month's progress with eating healthy and working out....struggles and successes...sort of as a way to keep myself motivated, but also hopefully to inspire others as well. It'd be really cool if it turned into a community movement sort of thing...where we all helped keep each other on track on a more personal level.

I'd also be posting a calendar of my workout plans/ what I actually end up doing and recapping the types of things I've been eating.

Does this sound interesting to any of you?

Let me know. :)
