Winter 1995
me at the 2005 Region 6 convention getting ready for the Prom.  Anybody seen my glass slippers?

You asked about my story...

I'm 44, live a couple hours east of Toronto with my husband and cat.  The story is nothing unique, the usual one of yo-yo dieting that goes up and up and up until I was somewhere over 300 with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.  Dysfunctional family with a fair bit of addiction in the closet, you've heard it many times before...

Right now (11/05) I'm maintaining a weight of just under 150 for around  a year and a half, having come to OA almost 3 years ago.  With a higher power's help I will celebrate a year of abstinence from binge eating in January.  I'm still struggling with my fat head, expect to do that forever, but I finally feel like I'm gaining some maturity and actually getting glimpses of the emotional and spiritual problems that underlie that neverending quest for the next bite.
