Had an epiphany after a work trip; that I was fat. Who was this person? Where did she come from? When I did that temperature check that so many of us do I realized that I was unhappy.

My life has taken a few side turns but, I try to stay focused and positive. My parents are both deceased and I have a small (very small) group of people who understand me sometimes but often I'm a loner.

This gets me into trouble as you can imagine. I've always been searching for something but can't quite put my finger on it. I love to be social and drink which, dieting and drinking don't mix.

Addiction has been a huge obstacle for me to climb; but I'm trying and I'm going to try and hope that I can stay the course.

For the most part I'm easy going and love to have fun! I work as an HR Director which is not your typical happy-go-lucky girl! Love sports, beer and miss my Chilly girl whom I had to put to sleep a few weeks ago. 13 years we had been together and now I am left wondering what do I do with myself?
