Ask me anything   Roux; 26 years old; 5'7" <3
This is my weight-loss blog. I'll be posting recipes, motivation, updates, progress photos, and helpful info.
Used to hover in the low 120s, but I just had a baby and am struggling to lose this post-preggo poundage.
I do have a history of eating disorder, but I am trying to stay healthy and recovered.
However, because I am candid with my thoughts and feelings about my body, some content may be triggering.
