Who Am I??
I am obese. OK maybe not obese - but I am overweight. It feels like I have been overweight my entire life. I know this isn't true but I have struggled with my weight and self image my entire life. I cannot remember a time in life - EVER - where food was not a topic of daily conversation. From what we are eating, what we are not eating, who was allowed to eat what, sneaking food, hiding food....life has always been about FOOD. I am positive I spend the majority of my thoughts on food. Kinda sick.
I am creating this blog for myself. I don't expect anyone to read it but I want to track my thoughts, progress, what is going on with me and perhaps gain some understanding of my obsession. If you do read this....don't judge my writing. You can judge me all you like, hell I judge myself and other daily - who doesn't?? But I am a TERRIBLE writer! I don't follow punctuation rules and I love to write random words in all caps. It makes sense to me - but not to everyone. So hey I'm just throwing it out there...I am not a professional writer. Just a fat girl trying to get her head straight.
So who am I?? It is a questions we all face daily. Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of all of this? I wish I was that deep - I'm not. I mean I try to be but sometimes I don't want to think about all that nonsense and I just want to go out and buy shoes!!
I am 27 years old. I great up in New Orleans and now live in Baton Rouge, LA. I am a Kindergarten teacher - a job I simply adore - most days. Teaching and weight gain seem to go hand in hand and I do NOT want to become one of these 250lb women I see moping around school in their stretchy pants and looking all gross.
I CAN MAKE A CHANGE!! At least that is what I keep telling myself.
