I put on 10 pounds over the course of my first year but that's okay because I was kind of underweight to start with. I'm now around 125 pounds and I look good, I think I may actually have put on muscle (from running around and lifting patients instead of sitting in a chair all day) rather than fat because all my clothes still fit and my stomach hasn't gotten any bigger.

Nursing school has forced me to slow down.
I quit my retail job and the processed food consumption dropped. I work at a hospital and eat salads for lunch now.
Went to doctor for physical and need to cut down salt. Was told I had to exercise 30 minutes a day and monitor BP twice daily.
Purely health reasons. I really want my BP to be textbook normal, like it was when I was healthier

I have lost roughly 20lbs since starting nursing school. I was quickly reminded how I managed to stay so thin in high school and college the first go-round. Stress+anxiety+fear+GI issues=IBS overdrive. Test days are most exciting, there have been mornings I was sure I was going to be late to my exam no matter how early I got up to prepare.
