Let me tell you my weight! I got on the scale this morning and weighed 290 pounds. Now if I were a sumo wrestler, black bear, or a Kenmore 26 cubic ft. refrigerator that would be fine, but I'm not. What I am is a 37 year old woman with a serious weight problem. I've had this weight problem my entire life, as has my mother, her mother, and many of the women before us. It is not an easy thing to admit, in fact, I guard my weight closer than I do my bank account. But I'm also a firm believer in the Dr. Phil ideal, "you can't change what you don't acknowledge!" Keeping my weight, my measurements, and my dress size a secret sure hasn't helped me any. Now I'm ready to try something different- telling the whole world my story! My name is Jennifer and I have a terrible monkey on my back. Together with a long-distance friend who is stuck in the same dilemma, I hope to rid myself of this disease once and for all and go on to live a healthy, happy, life. This blog is dedicated to anyone who has ever suffered from a weight problem, an eating disorder, or any other body image problem.
