About

Once upon a time, there lived a somewhat shy, yet very happy overweight girl. This girl had been overweight for most of her life -- despite playing soccer, skiing, biking and riding horses, she was never really a skinny girl. In fact, there isn't a time in her life when she remembers herself being thin. Maybe once when she was 16....

Being fat stopped her from doing a lot of things that she was very good at. Perhaps she didn't realize it at the time, but she never went for the things she wanted in life because she let herself be limited by her weight. In 2002, she packed up a lot of boxes, sold her car and went to Asia to travel around like a total bum. It was an experience of a lifetime and when she came back, she was a changed woman.

Her mission today is to find balance, lead a healthy lifestyle and to stop judging herself so harshly by the number she sees on the scale.

This blog is her journey, her accountability and her record of triumphs and struggles.
