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.
