About Me

Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm a single mother to Andrew (10) and Ashelyn (6). I completed college in December of 2007 obtaining a degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling. I'm currently in a very new relationship with a wonderful man. My goal is to go back to college and earn my Bachelor's in Social Work; possibly my Master's. I would also love to get my CASAC (credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor) someday. I'm discovering a new happiness in my life and the only thing I'm waiting for is to find a job so I can continue my career. I love my field of work and enjoy every minute of it. The rest you can find on my "complete profile". Any questions, feel free to ask :-)

I'm feeling...

Update

So, last weekend I decided that I've had enough of this eating disorder bullshit and really decided to start kicking it's ass. Sometime before I fell off the bed and onto some exercise stuff in the middle of the night on Saturday (yeah...that's a completely different story, lol) I had a discussion with someone that made me change my thinking. I'm happy to report that I'm no longer giving Anorexia the power to control me. But, I'm not too happy about the numbers on the scale. However, they aren't keeping me from eating. I have been exercising, but I'm not overdoing it. I got a 50% scholarship to the YMCA and I've been jogging on the track and playing in the fitness room. My main concern is toning my belly flab from having babies. Anyway, I'm at 104lbs according to MY scale. And the nutritionist said she'd be happy with me weighing between 105 and 110, more on the upside of 110 though. She said once I get there she would feel comfortable with me exercising. Oh well, I beat her to it and I don't care. So, I'm glad that I've decided to tell Anorexia that it can go back from where it came from...but the scale is still very anxiety provoking to me and although I don't like the numbers creeping up, I do realize that they have to...for my health.
