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.

Giving up high heels and makeup......

     Calm down!  Anyone who knows anything about me knows I will never willingly give up 5 inch heels or makeup.  I decided to give them up tonight though.  This week....  Dear Lord....  This week.  I feel like I have had my soul beaten by a rolling pin.  This is mostly due to the circus that is my job.  Other than that, I suppose I can't complain.  The circus is the reason that despite a dinner invite by my husband, I have opted to stay at home.  This evening has been nearly perfect so far.(Minus my dog being obnoxious as usual.... Why did I HAVE to get another dog again??!!!)  After briefly trying to nap on the couch, I gave up.  Instead I ran a huge bubble bath, turned on Adele on my Pandora, grabbed a glass of vino, and got my chillax on.   Hello!!!  If this doesn't sound amazing to anyone else, I would advise that they be evaluated by a qualified medical professional.  What made this vino bubble bath even better was the fact that I knew Jeremiah was on his way to pick up Italian food.  Yummy deliciousness!

     I am desperately battling to not bring work home with me.  Most of the time I am failing at this task.  When I think about my week, I can honestly say that I have mostly succeeded.  I feel like I got some quality friend/me/husband time in.  I got to visit my favorite hole in the wall bar a couple of times.  I adore conversing with people there.  I can talk to a certain ones for hours.  I love hearing other people's views on life.  And I am usually pretty open about my life to other people.  I guess I find that trait admirable.

     Do I ramble in all of my blog entries??  I apologize if I do.  Well, not really. :)  Tomorrow I am heading to Arkansas to visit the fam.  I am so looking forward to seeing everyone.  On top of that, I get some friend time, which is a bonus.  TGIF and all that jazz.
