    About Me

    This box has been blank for awhile, I suppose I should give some insight as to the person I am. I was born, raised, and live in Colorado Springs, CO. I have been married just shy of seven years. I have two dogs that complete the family until I can have children. I have struggled with self esteem, body image, eating disorders, self-injury and PTSD since my mom passed away 7 years ago. I have a wonderful therapist who is helping me get through the past so I have a desire to have a future. I work in marketing at a Real Estate company. I am generally a happy person, a front I have learned and perfected over the course of a lifetime. Once you convince the world you are happy and okay it is easy to fake your way through anything-healthy? not so much but it works for me. I am a natural redhead :) I have my degree in psychology, I enjoy all music and movies and have a very supportive, loving spouse.

    Interests

    I love the gym, playing the wii, going for hikes, and going to the movies. I enjoy shopping and walking and most of all sleeping. I love to sleep and feel that naptime should be mandatory :) I love snow in the winter and warm summers. i love the smell of fresh rain and the flowers that bloom. I love the fall trees and sitting for hours people watching. I have a slight addiction to coffee :)

      From Karrin Saturday

      Thanks for being so honest. That's really the most important thing in this battle. I cut down on the exercise to about 40 minutes but to tell you the truth only because I'm on new sleeping pills and they take every ounce of energy out of me and I'm constantly dizzy. If it weren't for that I would probably exercise more.

      From Karrin October 3

      Hey there, are you still taking the pills or have they found their way into the trash. Let me know. I really care.
