About

Bio

I am a ....

Recovering alcoholic-addict-eating disorder person who has found my strength in God.

I have always been pretty thin although for many years I had a body image disorder and subsequently became bulimic and excersized compulsively. When I first got sober in 1986 I was so obsessed with my weight and my looks it became a living nightmare for me most of the time.
 
I started using pills to get thin in 1993 and it led me down a path of self destruction ending in addiction to a very dangerous drug. I was weighing in at about 115. When my husband of only a year presented me with divorce papers and I ended up in a detox center I realized that only God could give me the strength I needed to overcome the selfish insanity of my previous life.
 
In 8 months I have gained about 20 pounds but it didn't freak me out like I thought it would. When I started growing out of my clothes I decided to get a grip.
 
The good news is I didn't lose my wonderful husband, I found a website full of people like myself and I have lost some weight! I really dont care if I ever get to 115 again, I just want to be healthy and happy.
