I started writing this post with 1 goal in mind: to not talk your ear off about my constant issues and problems with food.... 


........aaaand after about 3 full paragraphs and a few one liners into the post... my goal quickly became unattainable.  So unattainable in fact, that I had to delete everything and walk away, er I mean switch over to facebook. But, uh, anyways, here goes attempt numero dos at accomplishing my goal and creating a post with some depth (or at least I hope).


Long story short, I had a borderline eating disorder (and I use the term "borderline" because it makes my issues sound a lot less needy and me a lot less not perfect). A lot of people, mostly me, myself and my therapist, agree that it stemmed from control issues, which in turn, led to lots and lots of body image issues. And if you don't (which I highly doubt) think negative thoughts about your body at least once a day... you are damn lucky, because it sucks. 


So, now that I've chatted up my issues way too much... I bring you to a Glamour article that I am dying to share with you all. I read this article a few weeks ago, but last night I found myself reaching for the same article in attempt to gain some strength. After a major binge on chocolate which then led to a severe mental beat down on myself... I knew I needed something.  That something is this article: Shocking News. 


Challenge yourself to read this full article when you have some time, or when you feel you need some inner strength. Even better...challenge yourself try out the 7 steps at the bottom of the article, I dare you. Wait, even better... I   d o u b l e  dog dare you....


On that note.... I'm off to digest some Subway cookies, drink some hot tea and enjoy my Policewoman of Cincinnati.... 


You are beautiful,
