Day 1: Its over

For the past two years I have been in a love/hate relationship with food and like with any relationship it has it's ups and downs. It was always there for me when I needed it; in times of stress, sadness, and uncertainty. When these times came up in life food would ease the pain by sending me Little Debbie, the Land of Lakes Indian girl (who has knees that fold up to look like boobs), Mr. Peanut, and who could forget the red and yellow M&M's. No matter the situation I knew I could always depend on food to send someone to make me feel better. The high was wonderful, there was nothing like eating a whole box of cosmo brownies with the sprinkles on top to make me feel better after bombing a nursing school exam. Soon though I realized that it only made me feel better for a little while, and than I felt even worse after I had given in to food. But than I would run right back to it, like a drug and everytime I looked in the mirror I saw where it had left its mark; a new cellulite dot on my my left thigh, the start of a double chin (if I tilted my head a certain way), my whole arm flapping away when I waved goodbye. It slowly started making it to where I could not even recognize myself.
                    SO TODAY I ENDED IT!
It was hard and I am sure like any bad relationship I will go back at times. But right now it is time for me to take back over control of my life. So join me as I blog about my struggle to control my appetite, workout and get my life back (not to mention my skinny jeans). A complete LIFE CHANGE!
       Please feel free to share your stories, my goal is to inspire others who are struggling with the same one way relationship with food. I want to save the world one 26 year old overeater at a time, starting with me.
