Overcoming Obesity

Step One Complete



The idea of creating a blog came to me a few days ago. I've decided to begin my journey to overcome obesity on January 1, 2010... yes yes, taboo taboo. This is not another resolution to lose weight this is a commitment to becoming aware of my destructive behavior with food. I will begin posting daily on January 1st. There are many secrets that hide in my closet of overeating that may or may not come out in the year to come. I do promise not to sweep anything else under the rug or shove it into my secret closet... I will post the day to day details. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. So again, step one... it is complete. The blog is up and hopefully running. I look forward to sharing myself with you over the year to come.

I have decided that I will post a picture of me, an honest picture. Over the last ten years, all of my pictures are head shots and I think it is fair to say, I have gone public... I won't pretend or hide anymore, I will publish a picture of my body... what I hide from. It is true, I avoid mirrors at all cost. Occasionally, when I catch a glance of myself, I don't recognize the woman who looks back at me...
