I'm 34, 5'3" and weigh in at 330 pounds. I'd love to say I don't know how this happened but I do. As an emotional eater, food is my friend and my worst enemy. I have not always been overweight but somewhere along the way, I found myself turning to food to cope with everyday hustle and bustle, stress, depression or to celebrate happiness. I can no longer hide behind food nor can I stand to watch myself gain another pound. I am very fortunate not to have diabetes, high cholesterol or blood pressure. I realize I am playing Russian Roulette with my health, it's time to break the cycle. Join me over the next 365 days as I work towards changing my relationship with food. I've tried many times and have failed, I hope with my Blog I will become more accountable. I will post things about exercise(or lack there of), food(binges included) and life as I know it. I will do my best not to bore you... my journey will begin on January 1, 2010. Lets enjoy the year together! Cheers to discovering health, mental well being, overcoming obesity and my addiction of food.

10/28/2010 - I've gained 15 pounds in about 7 weeks. I just can't seem to find the balance between working full time, keeping house, being Mom and traveling for work. I gotta find my way back. I am having a hard time fitting in my smaller clothes and I am just tired. I need strength and encouragement. I am NOT ready to throw in the flag but I am binging like I am. This journey continues.
