Here are the details:
My name is Kerri. I am 38 years old. I am happily married. I have a nice home in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas and a Volvo Wagon to fit the suburban family mold. I have two girls ages 8 and 14. I have a step-son that I call my own that is 18. I have a Master's Degree. I had the luxury of being a full-time mom to my kids while they were young. Once they were all in gradeschool I got a full-time job as a school teacher. I love my job. I really have no complaints about my life...I have a great life. I consider myself lucky. So- as you can see I am just an ordinary person.

So- once again...very ordinary.
This is my delima:
are you ready???????
I AM ADDICTED TO FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely-Positively-100% Addicted to FOOD!!!
I love food. I love to eat.
I consider myself an intelligent person and I can make very important life changing decisions with confidence because I am a confident person,
OK??
BUT
I cannot for the love of GOD stop myself from eating a brownie.
I can also talk myself out of any type of exercise. I am the QUEEN of excuses when it comes to exercise.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
I thought.....if I begin a blog and journal to the world what frustrates the hell out of me about myself then maybe...just maybe I can figure out why I cannot control myself when it comes to food.
For 6 months I am going to blog weekly my calorie intake, exercise routine, weight loss/gain, inches loss/gained, frustrations about all of it too.
I plan on doing some research on why I love food. I am going to find the reason for my food addiction and why I cannot break the cycle of eating.
I will figure all of this out!!!
I am tired right now, and also can't sleep, so I might not make sense.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you are right about being addicted to food. After all food is something you can't live without. So, all of us need to be addicted to it.
I really think this blog is a good idea to motivate you to be healthy. One piece of desert shouldn't be such a negative thing. Food in excess is a problem, and unless you are hiding while you eat, it has never crossed my mind that you have an eating disorder. I think we can classify food addiction as an eating disorder.
Yes, you do need to make some really drastic choices because of you silly digestive system, and I support you on your blogging journey.
However don't let yourself think that LOVING food is a problem. Sugar is awesome, and bad, we just need to learn when to say NO to it.
