Hi,

I was bulimic for almost 30 years. This seems incredible now with so much recovery behind me. I'm forever grateful that I was able to carry and give birth to a healthy child, am healthy myself and passionate about my life and the challenges I've set for myself.

All those years ago I never thought I would live six months beyond whatever the present was. I couldn't plan for the future. Long term commitments were words from other people meaningless to me.

Now I have short term AND long term goals. I'm happy. I have love in my life. I'm productive and have a sense of adventure.

Thank God for recovery and the resilience of the human body and the human spirit.
