I'm your host, Pompasolio.

It is Thursday, September the 14th.

And Morgan writes,

Hey, Swolefam, I have been a silent member for a bit, but I finally feel like I am in a good mindset to express my experiences. Well, let's express those experiences, Morgan. This year I turned 23 and I've taken it upon myself to finally prioritize me. I have had an issue with how I've viewed my body. Since I was a young girl, I would beat

myself up for eating, even healthy foods, or for skipping a workout. When I had good days,

I'd try to eat like a normal person. I'd have friends, in quotes, ask me if I was seriously

going to eat whatever it was. When I felt bad, instead of finding support and comfort in friends,

I found it in food. I would sneak food into my room at night, cookie dough, chips, frosting.

I'd eat myself into oblivion, only to feel bad immediately after. I'd then go into bouts of extreme

calorie deficits to cope with the idea of weight gain, the cycle of binge eating

and starving myself seemed unending, and it continued even into my senior year of college.

I went from 150 pounds to 210 pounds, which was my heaviest ever.

That's when I found Swolnormus and Papa Swolio.

Since I started Swolnormus X, I have been examining my nutrition

and my views on food. Food is fuel, not comfort or something to fill up boredom. I can confidently

say that I no longer beat myself up for skipping, for eating or skipping a gym workout to work

on my own self-care.

I have lost 31 pounds, went from 32% BMI or 32 BMI to 30.8.
