Like a lotus flower that grows out of the mud and blossoms above the muddy water surface, we can rise above our deflements and sufferings of life.

About Me

I'm a 40 year old, midwestern mom with a son in college. 

 After about 34 years, I have realized I have more than just "normal" issues with food.  I suffer from disordered eating and have been suffering since I was a young girl.  I am finally, after all these years, dealing with it.  For me it's about more than just the food.

After my son was born, my bulmia turned into compulsive overeating/binge eating.  I am addicted to food.  I have always used food for any emotions I had.  I am in couseling with an eating disorder specialist and  I am following a 12-step program and thankfully am seeing some relief from my disordered eating.  I only focus on one day at a time.

I am utliizing this blog as a journal for my road to recovery.
