What is Fatorexic and how do I fix it?
Hi everybody...or nobody, whoever might end up reading this.
I want to start by saying that I've never written a blog, and more importantly, I've never talked openly about my weight and body image issues to anybody. So who am I? A twentysomething single mother with a long, long history of food-related issues. I started dieting at nine, and with the exception of the first year after my son was born, have never in my life been anywhere near what the medical profession would classify as overweight. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and be it from the medications, or from depression, or too many pizza nights, I now have a BMI of 26.75, and while I know that isn't obese, for me this is a major problem. Soooo...starting tomorrow, I'm going to make a valiant effort at eating right and exercising. I may even join a gym, something I swore to never, ever do. The goal...thirty two pounds less of me by New Years. Here goes nothing...
