Life Under Reconstruction

Hello :) My name is Imogen, I'm Australian, 15 years old, and this is my fitness/health blog.

I've been trying to lose weight since the beginning of 2012, but because of an already very sluggish metabolism that was made even worse from spending several months on a super low calorie diet, this journey has taken me a lot longer than I expected it to. It's involved starvation, several weight loss plateaus, a metabolism reset, weight gain, and somewhere in between, a few moments of actual, healthy weight loss. Have a look at the page 'my story' for more information.

Only recently I found out I have a minor form of depression- which has actually stemmed from this ongoing obsession with my body- and I've started seeing a specialist who focuses on teenagers with eating disorders. Even though I don't starve myself or anything, I need help with my depression, and accepting and loving my body for what it is. And this year, I am going to do that. I am going to get better.
