Intro to Me

When I first set up this blog back in 2012, I did so with grand plans to lose a bunch of weight so I could be "healthy" according to the world’s standard.  I envisioned going from a size 20 to a size 10, from weighing 250 something to 150 something.  I thought this would be a magic cure all in my life.  I would be happy, skinny and finally worthy to find a husband.  Little did I know that 4 years later I would be coming out of treatment and be in recovery for an eating disorder.  This blog will now be about my road to the real healthy that I am on, the horrible, the lonely, the amazing and the possible!  I am no longer ashamed to have it all out there.  I am not a professional but I am hoping that my experience can reach just one person and make a difference.  

In the last few months I have had what I consider to be many little miracles happen.  Some would say they are not really miracles, that miracles need to be big and grand, but to me these are miracles and prove to me that I have a Heavenly Father who is aware of me and loves me.  

As some of you know I have shared part of my story on an amazing website healhopeinspire.com.  I have had the opportunity to work with some INCREDIBLE women on this project.  One thing it has taught me is that no matter our circumstance, no matter our story, we are all going through something and the feelings from these are universal.  For the longest time I felt alone.  I felt like no one would understand me or my feelings.  I am happily mistaken.  I am not alone and neither are you.  

I have so much I want to share about therapy and treatment and my recovery.  The posts may not be in order but I will try to make them as fluid as possible.  If you visit the website you can know a little more of my story before I share it here, plus you will also get to read the stories of the other women I talked about earlier.
