My name is Christy. I have this problem...you see I like food a lot. Actually I really just am addicted to food. I love to bake, cook, eat, and enjoy making people happy through food. Is this a bad thing? Well honestly I've been told my whole life that it isn't a good thing. All my life I've been told watch what you eat. Do you really need that other cookie? When I feel sad or lonely food is what keeps me company. Is this embarrassing? Well for sure it is, it is embarrassing to admit something to others that you just want to hide. Specially when you know deep down you have a problem that you have been trying to fix your whole life but it's just so hard by yourself. It's so hard to feel so alone with something that no one else understands! People say things all the time like well just______you feel in the blank. For me it's always just don't eat so much, just count calories, run 3 miles like 3 times a week and you won't be fat, you know I've pretty much heard it all. The thing is it hurts down deep. I have always been over weight, even when I was a kid. So why am I starting a blog? Well I feel like others need support as well. I will write something in this blog everyday that I can and talk about my success that day or just my total failures. I love exercise, and that is my strong suit, what is not my strong suit is food. Thing blog is to help anyone who reads it. I will post healthy recipes that I like and I will share with all of you my journey.
One thing you need to know about me. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I love my church, it's not a cult and it truly is beautiful and a gift from God. So now I will tell you this. A few nights ago I got a Priesthood blessing from my Husband because I know that I can't do this on my own. I need the help of my Savior. So with the help from him, my family and friends I know that I can take control of my life and enjoy playing sports like I used to. This isn't about being skinny to me this is about liking myself. I want to like myself again. I loved who I was in High School and I wasn't skinny then. Well I think that's a start for today. Tomorrow is a new day and I'm starting now with my journey...please join me! Life is short and I'm excited to get this journey started.
