About me: I have not had a weight problem for most my life. In 2006 I quit drinking alcohol! It's been a journey that is harder sometimes than one would think. However, you could not pay me any amount of money to go back to that destructive life! Now I look back on my recovery and can admit I became addicted to ice cream, better than alcohol but it too has negative results. I'm 55 lbs over weight. Ugh! I've learned to like and accept myself but the weight makes me feel invisible sometimes by the way people act toward me. I think that was the pay off of being over weight but I am now ready to blossom!
