Basic Info BioThis journal is solely for writing about issues related to my body image, weight, weight loss, diet, nutrition, fitness, etc.
I am a 24 year old woman, living in a middle-sized city in southeastern Ontario, Canada. I am a mother to a beautiful one year old daughter, and am engaged, although our wedding date is indefinitely postponed.
I am diagnosed with rapid-cycling Bipolar Disorder type II, Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Panic Attacks, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Binge Eating Disorder. I take an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer each day to help cope with my mood and anxiety disorders, and I also regularly see a psychotherapist.
I have been dealing with eating issues since I was about nine years old, binging and intermittently purging or restricting. I have been overweight since about that time, as well, and reached my peak weight of 265 lbs. by the time I was 18 years old. Between 2004 and 2007 I managed to lose about 85 lbs. to reach my all-time low (as an adult) of 178 lbs. Then I got pregnant, lost control of my eating habits, and a year after my daughter was born I am back up near my highest weight. I am currently (April 22, 2009) 261.5 lbs. and I am 5'6".
This journal is to document not only my journey with weight loss, but also to deal with all my issues regarding eating and body image.
