I Love Me!

*One of my goals for 2008 is to embrace the person that I am, to be happy in my own skin. As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder and low-self esteem, this is no easy task. while surfing various blogs, I came across this meme. I decided to answer the questions, and post on my blog. I encourage you all to do the same.

After years of abusing my body to be stick-thin, I have come to appreciate my curves.

This past weekend. I went out with friends to a Georgia Tech hockey game. I was seriously craving junk food, but I managed not to give into the temptation of the snack bar.
