Introduction Text Starting over again. Heaviest ever. Feeling lotsa sadness about that - but I also think I'm more understanding and compassionate towards myself now. I'm still afraid though. Wishing I could understand why I keep wanting to eat when I'm not hungry. Why my brain can know that my body wants no food - but my hand keeps stuffing it in there. Not a lot - not major binging - but more than my beautiful poor body needs. I feel like I'm abusing myself, really. I deserve better. Then I feel guilty about that too. Wow I'm a piece of work!

My goals are: 1. learn to listen to my body, eating when I am hungry for food - not for something else, and honestly, to eat exactly what my body wants (NOT ny head). 2. lose the excess 57 pounds I'm carrying around 3. establish a healthy lifestyle that will carry me into the second half of my life.

I am journaling my food each day, staying within my caloric goals. I am exercising somewhat regularly. I am doing things for myself, rather than for others' expectations. I am trying to take care of myself in the kindest and most loving ways.

I live in California with my husband, daughter, son, and a menagerie of pets!

I am a Harry Potter fan, among other things - and desperately hope life is more magical than it actually seems. Some days, I get an inkling!
