Hey friends!
As the year is coming to an end I decided it was time for
some changes in my life (start of a new year... isn't that when everyone
decides to make changes which end up lasting a few weeks???...). Changes that
will make me a better, healthier and happier me!
Time to let you all in on a secret. I have an eating
disorder. I have been suffering with one since a young age (since 6th grade)..
even though I did not know it at the time. I now, at 28 years old, have a
bachelors and masters degree. So, needless to say.. it has ruled my life for a
long time. I have covered all the bases from just binging to restricting food
to binging and purging. I found my eating was directly related to my emotions
and "feeling fat". How can someone feel fat?? It is not even a
feeling?!? Well, anyway, I have let this eating disorder control my life. Not
anymore! I have decided it is time for me to take back my life from my ED.
Don't get me wrong.. I am "healthy" in the terms of enjoying
exercising. Some might say I am even at the extreme end as I truely LOVE
running, spinning, high intensity training and weight lifting. However all of
the running in the world does not counter act the damage and destruction an
eating disorder causes. It also stops me from reaching my fitness goals.
This blog is a way to keep me accountable. I want to
share my journey to health and fitness with everyone and hopefully inspire
others along the way.

good to yourself. Because without you the rest of us are without a source of
many wonderful things.” Dr. Leonardo Buscaglia
