Trying to fix my blues
So I'm trying to make today better than the weekend, but I just feel so restless and down on myself. I don't know what happened but I just …
I'm Stacy, I'm 25 and I work full time and take graduate classes. Photography is my passion and all the pics I upload are my own from places I have been, because I LOVE to travel. I love music and I like to sing when I get a chance. I'm very independent and I love having time for reflection on my own. I also love my family and I am very close to them. I have a few directions I'd like to take in life, so I'm giving myself a couple years to finish grad school, get fit and see where my new opportunities lead me!

I've been overweight my whole life. In my mid-twenties, I now feel that my life cannot begin and my goals cannot be met until I am an acceptable weight
I've been obese all my life. I actually cringe at the word. I'm trying to slim down but its hard and I find myself getting depressed and hopeless at times.
I use food the way most people use drugs or alcohol. I celebrate with it, I drown my sorrows in it, I base social events around it. I have no clue how to look at food as not addiction, though before I thought about I would've said food addiction is silly and I was just a lazy fat person. Now I realize how much I abuse food. I'm scared of food. Because obviously one can't live without it. How to rehab something you must have to survive?
I lost a lot of family members starting at a young age and while I was growing up. It affected me deeply and I still cry about things that happened nearly 20 years ago. I feel extreme emotion and these losses have a habit of reappearing and intensifying things.
In a family of overweight people, I am the biggest. I'm a compulsive and binge eater. Even as a child I experienced this and would hide food in my room. I sometimes go through periods of binging and fasting. I have purged in the past but not for a long time.
