I've always been very forthcoming. The girl who wears her emotions on her sleeve- that's me. One would describe me as outgoing, honest, and even funny at times, with excellent social skills to boot. I have two awesome kids, a nice home and a husband who adores me. It's a life I've always dreamed of having... one that some may even envy. So why then, I ask, was I so fucking miserable? Tortured by self-loathing, constantly striving for perfection, in business and in appearance, and now, obsessive compulsive. What happened to the woman we all once knew? When exactly did I become so lost in myself that I could not release myself from the vacuum that sucked me away?
After many a breakdown, a bit of therapy and some meds thrown into the mix, I am now able to answer some of my own questions. It wasn't an outside force (kids, hubbie, carpools or work) that was making me miserable. I was making myself miserable and the tipping point into my depressive state... the book, "Skinny Bitch."
I wish I could undo my downward spiral and give back every word that I soaked up. One thing is certain, after reading, and sticking to the guidelines of the "Skinny Bitch", you WILL become a SKINNY BIATCH!!
This is my journey and it has only just begun.
