Hello there!


Thanks for taking the time to explore my journey. I am a happily married Southern girl who loves life. I am so blessed to have an amazing family and friends I can't live without. That being said, I am also Bulimic. I have struggled for nearly 12 years to end this battle and become a healthier, happier me. At almost 30 years old I have finally decided to give it my absolute all. I am ready to put this skeleton in my closet for good. I have faith that I can, and will. I want nothing more than to make peace with myself and my body. There will be many good and bad days ahead. I hope this blog not only helps me, but may find a way to help someone else.



Much love and happiness.

"Do you look in the mirror and see a gorilla??"

     Yes, this is what my very best friend said to me on our way out a few nights ago.  She says I could look amazing and still find something wrong.  She is right.  She has this crazy ability to know when I am upset without even talking to me.  She knows what I'm thinking.  It is scary sometimes, but she is usually right.( One of the many reasons I love and adore her.)  I have neglected to journal or blog for far too long.  I was reminded this by another friend, who inspired me to search deeper.(Thanks Emma.)  What has been going on.....

     Jeremiah has been gone on business.  Business that could change our lives.  I am so proud of him for not just talking, but actually doing.  Work has been crazy as always.  Everyday something new and unpleasant.  This week I decided to visit a doctor to help me get out of my rut.  I hate to be a slave to medication, which I felt I was when I discontinued all my meds a few months ago.  I seemed to go downhill from then.  Lately I have had little motivation to leave the house, clean, or even get myself "prettied-up"  to go anywhere.  Not to mention that I haven't been sleeping much.  Jen informed me that I needed to do whatever it takes to get back to feeling like my normal self.  She was right.

     I scheduled an appointment with a new PCP to get another opinion.  I loved my new doctor.  He listened, was friendly, and quite attractive. :)  Bonus.  Giggle.  He decided to put me back on an anti-anxiety med.  Within a couple of days I noticed an improvement in myself.  At least for now, I will keep taking them. 

     A big task ahead is learning to really love me for who I am.  As well as learning to love the people around me more, for who they are.  As much as I loathe judgemental people, I can be judgemental to myself and others.  It has to stop.  More happiness please!  All around!  A little for everyone!  Positive note:  I haven't purged in several days.  Yaaaaay!   Smiles!!!!
