Not going to lie... I'm crazy when it comes to food. My stories will prove that. I'm a recovering compulsive eater and exercise bulimic. There! I said it! Now I risk other people knowing a part of me and having the chance for them to connect with me by sharing their potential food freakishness too!
I'm just like the 14,000 million other KNOWN people in this country that have a diagnosis of food craziness. When I heard that fact that there were more people with eating disorders than breast cancer in the USA, I didn't feel so bad about myself. I actually felt a little happier and more hopeful which helps in living a more quality of life.
This website isn't focused for just people with eating disorder behaviors. Anyone who has experienced a temporary moment of mental imbalance concerning food gets to share here (see guidelines page). As i've gone to support groups I've realized something. When we share stories of our food freakishness, we laugh and/or relate. This just gives some enjoyment to my life.
Here's where it really gets funny:
I'm a Health Education Major in Northern, MN and my career goal, which I WILL achieve, is Health Coaching. Irony- Compulsive eater coaching others on their health. Actually, I use that to my advantage. I know how to relate to others that are struggling, therefore I've done a lot of research to find ways to get out of constant food freakishness.
Random things about me:
I'm learning how to make homemade candles
I work my butt off in school
Love animals and stand up comedy and peanutbutter : )
