A little background

I started with NoBS January 1, 2023. Believe it or not, I came in quite timid. I had been in therapy for years, working on overcoming binge eating disorder (BED) and building my self esteem and self worth from being raised by a rather toxic mother.

I started where so many have started. Fat, tired of being fat, wishing my life could change, and not sure of the path I needed to take. I didn’t know where my life was going, but I knew I needed a change.

I made some promises on day one and I’ve kept them, even when it’s hard. One promise was that I would always be authentic. I am what I am. I accept that I have no control over how anyone sees me, but more importantly I’ve learned it only matters how I think of myself. That’s the cake, the rest is just frosting!

The other promise was that I was going to fix my head and focus on that. Weight loss would be a byproduct of that. Sometimes I struggle with this, but over all it brings me peace. No, I’m never going to be fixed, but I will be repaired. I am going to keep evolving and growing, working on new thoughts and habits, but I’ll get where I’m going. Wherever that is!

It’s turned into an adventure, not a mere journey, and I look forward to the road ahead of me!
