This blog is dedicated to anyone who has ever suffered from an eating disorder or self-image problem. The entries I write are deeply personal and examine my day-to-day struggle with obesity, and the emotional, physical, and societal baggage that accommodates it. Originally this blog had two authors. The idea was to create a forum where two friends suffering from the same affliction could cheer each other to victory through diet and exercise. Unfortunately, my partner quit and left me to face this battle on my own.
I am no stranger to this lonely path. I have struggled my entire life to maintain a healthy weight. Even after a 100+ pound weight loss, cosmetic surgery, and four years having kept the weight off, I find myself back at square one, only this time tipping the scales at an outrageous 290 pounds. I am not proud of this, my highest weight, but I am proud of my commitment to do something about it. In the past I have struggled in silence. This time, I am opening the door to my heart so I may share with you victories, failures, and the day-to-day awakenings this journey is teaching me.
