First Blog - Day Before the Big Day

This is the day before I start on my weight loss journey...again!  Yes, this is not the first time but I believe this time will be different.  I have tried many different methods to lose weight.  Yes, they've been successful for the short term.  In the long term the weight has come back, over and over. 

What makes this time different?  To start with, I am working with a dietician this time.  I am also going to do some group work for binge eating disorders.  And finally, I was accepted as a candidate for a TV series on weight lose and confidence building.  I've carried around my struggle to sustain a normal weight for many years and it's time to deal with the underlying issues of my roller coaster weight efforts.  I am an emotional eater.  I have fluctuated from 114lbs to 220lbs.  All of this has happen over the past twenty years.  That being said, I can remember escaping with food from the time I was about 7 or 8 years old.  Why?  It let me escape and lose myself, if only for a short time. 

Last year things in my life came crashing to the ground.  I was bullied by the manager I worked for at a big bank.  I went on sick leave and went from short term disability to long term disability.  The whole situation was emotionally, spiritually and mentally disabling.  I was unable to do anything for a long time and stopped exercising and eating well.  I gained approximately 40 lbs. over the past year.  Now that I am better than ever emotionally, spiritually and mentally I need to align my outside with my inside. 

I will post pictures as I go.  I am not a writer and the most I've written are my own personal journals, so just a heads up.   I look forward to sharing my journey with you.
