Just Therapy

There's an article on CNN that talks about how blogging can be therapy. And really, that is what this blog is about. Many how-to articles on blogs tell you to keep your scope narrow. Pick a topic for your blog and stick to it. Well, that's not what I will be doing here. I've procrastinated far too long in starting a blog because I wanted to do it "right" and I couldn't figure out a way to keep on topic yet be able to post about the myriad of thoughts racing through my brain.

So, I've decided that the topic for this blog is "a super-super obese woman trying to lose just 5 pounds and everything she thinks about." That is, the topic is the who rather than the what.

Getting back to the article - this blog is really therapy for me. First, to express my emotions and thoughts. Second, as something to do rather than eat. There will be posts about everything from journal exercises, daily living with an eating disorder, book and movie reviews, stray thoughts, dealing with depression and anxiety, daily living as a super-super obese person, inspirational pieces, whatever comes to mind on that day.

If that isn't good enough for you, you can bite the big, white moon-shaped part of me that jiggles as I walk.
