“More than half of my life is blurry due to everything that was happening, but I never stopped digging. I wanted to see and face the truth.”
“None of us know how trauma will show up in our lives. For some, including me, trauma made me feel better, for a short time. The events had struck me so hard and were so completely overwhelming, the trauma was almost a convenient distraction. That was until the mist cleared and the reality of the guilt, pain, and horror of those events hit home.”
“I’d cry every single day, unable to sleep out of fear of not being able to control my eating the next day. I was afraid to hang out with friends because of how I looked. I returned back to my younger self, inside her room struggling with food. I felt like a total failure.”
“‘Wow, Mommy you look so pretty in that!’ This was a defining moment, and I had a decision to make.”
“My smile started to quiver. I felt my vision blur. I kept my composure the best I could, but only made it through the kitchen door before the waterworks exploded. I knew I’d been gaining weight, but hearing it from a stranger really hurt. I never wanted to feel that way again.”

“I had not been on a rollercoaster in 30 years, and this was the first time I had ever been able to get on a rollercoaster with my sons. I had never felt so good in my life.”
“My intentions weren’t the best in the beginning. But slowly that changed: now it was about ME.”
