Hello

First thing's first, my name is Sarah, formerly known as "theoutfitters08" on YouTube.  I used to post beauty and fashion videos for about three years, starting the summer before my freshman year of high school.  I was an extremely active dancer my entire life, up until my senior year of high school.  I was always very thin.  I was one of those people who could eat anything, whenever I wanted and how ever much I wanted, all the time.  Then that all changed.


I graduated from high school and moved away to college. Ahh, dorm life.  But a girl like me with an impossibly fast metabolism who had never stepped into a gym a day in her life couldn't fall victim to the infamous "freshman fifteen" right?  Ha, wrong. Very wrong.

I no longer was forced to do constant cardio for 8 hours a week.  I no longer had relatively set meal times.  I had little to no regularity in my life at all, in fact.  Daddy no longer set dinner in front of me at 5:30 PM and no longer cleaned it up after me.  I lived on the dining hall pizza bar, omelets and acai bowls and microwave "dinners."

So after 8 months of slowly accumulating exactly fifteen pounds and beginning to not fit into my jeans, I began to be unhappy with my body for the first time in my eighteen years.  I always used to think girls were CRAZY for picking on their bodies, they all looked perfectly fine to me.  But I get it now.  Most girls will most likely never be happy with their bodies, no matter what they look like.  I tried to go to the gym, but whether I went or not I pretty much stayed at the same weight, so what was the point?

I finally decided to kick this in the bud.  Now its summer, and I have little to do besides study for my online summer class and the occasional catering job, so why not do what will make me happy and get back to the body I had never given a second thought about.
