A Binger’s Rehab

About

This blog is titled “A Binger’s Rehab” because I have an addiction to bingeing that has gone on most of my life.  I have been able to temper it throughout m 20’s but lost control in my 30’s.  I will use this blog to journal my effort to rehabilitate myself and lose 70 lbs in the process.

About me:

I am a married 40 year old mother of two girls, ages 5 years old and 9 months.  My weight has been beyond 200 for a good several years.  In 2006 I thought I was finally taking control and got down to 185 through diet and running (even ran a 5k!) but then went on vacation and when I came back, for some reason I continued the vacation by not exercising and continually overeating.  I gained the 20+ lbs back plus more.

I vowed to lose the weight before I hit 40, but here I am, almost 41 and heavy as ever.  Now it’s not just a vanity thing but also a health matter.  I am scared to death that my weight will finally catch up with me and the health problems will begin.  

This time it’s for my health, on top of all the other reasons.  I have a lot to live for with two little girls, one JUST BORN 9 months ago!  No way will I let this food addiction ruin their lives.  Or mine.  Or my husband’s.

You are invited to watch me do it.  One day at a time.
