After many years of debate and encouragement, I've taken the plunge and created a blog. For all intents and purposes, this will serve as a journey. A journey of weight loss, self discovery, new beginnings, and passions. There's a plethora of new things in my life that I'm dealing with. A new job as a sales representative, along with the frustration of not selling near as much as I had anticipated. A new marriage and planning our wedding. Going to college for the first time in my life and being TERRIFIED of failing. And then, of course, probably the most difficult portion of all. My weight. I've had BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) since I was about 15 years old, and through the years, it's only gotten progressively worse. In fact, the only thing my husband and I have ever fought about in the three years we've known each other is how I view myself. I have a very sick relationship with food, having been both anorexic and buliemic at a young age and for many years. I obsess over my appearance and I'm constantly on a new diet or fitness routine. So now, I'm putting my writing talents to use AS I begin yet another new routine. Only this time, it's a lifestyle change. Maybe that will benefit me in ways I haven't predicted yet. :)
