Introduction

Name:  R. Julia
Age:  53
Hometown:  NYC

My husband and I, have been married for 15 years, and we have a 14 year old son.

I am in the process of losing the 20 plus pounds that I’ve regained throughout the last 3 years. I have battled with eating disorders and addiction, most of my life. I have 10 years of alcohol sobriety as of July 2010, but I still battle with binge eating and sugar addiction.

My goal is to improve my health by eating healthy foods, cutting out sweets, logging my calories everyday, and exercising.

This is not a typical blog, instead, I think of it as  my journal, which I created for weight loss accountability and to document my physical struggles and hopefully my recovery. I was afflicted with back problems in Nov. 2009, and was diagnosed with 2 bulging discs in January of 2010. I also have a long battle with sciatica. 

I believe that with faith, a healthy diet, exercise, and a positive attitude, I will eventually overcome my challenges.

Turning off the comment option, is my way of staying true to myself and focused on my goals.

"But" I am definitely, not anti-social!
So, please feel free to email me or comment on my twitter page. Thank you:)
