I watched the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" last night. I bought a juicer today. I'm at my highest weight ever and I can't take it anymore.

I know things won't get any better when I turn 50 and I'm 47 now. Being a woman, I understand that hormones are involved in my eating. I've been told that I suffer from PMS, PMDD and Fibromyalgia brought on by PMDD. Last year I had several cases of cellulitis which was first diagnosed as Lyme Disease. My right knee hurts every day. I know all of these conditions are weight-related.

It's time to save my life. It's time to start liking myself again. It's time to look at myself in the mirror again and care about myself.

I'm heading out to the grocery store now to stock up on kale, celery, granny smith apples, lemons, ginger, and cucumbers. Tomorrow my juicing journey begins. I figured that Lent was a good time to start a juice fast, at least it seems an appropriate time.

Blogging about my journey may help me to stay focused and be able to reflect back on my progress. It may also serve to help others who feel as lost as I do in the world of food and food addiction. Stay tuned. . .
