I remember April 24, 2012 very well. It was a Tuesday, and I was at school teaching that day. I had spent four months wrestling with uncharacteristic binge eating habits, and I was fed up with myself and with food. …

Sometimes it’s hard to get back into the habit of doing something when you haven’t done it for  a while. That’s me and blogging right now. I have had zero desire to write a post. Not because I don’t like …

How I Stop a Binge

http://i0.wp.com/www.followingfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bertha-sleeping1.jpg?fit=190%2C190
