I am a firefighter, I can not imagine doing anything else. I have the world's best family and friends. They are always there for me, no matter what. I have an eating disorder. I say have because it is always there and always will be. There is always that chance that I'll feel I ate too much and go crazy over it. I finally have a pretty good grip on it though.I've learned to turn my obsessions into healthy obsessions, like avoiding HFCS and trans fats. I want to share my passion for health with everyone. I changed my major to health and fitness and am working on getting my personal training certification. If I can make just my fire department just a little more active and healthy concious, then it's a victory. I have lost 80 pounds. I have 20 more to go, sometimes that overwelms me. I am a spelling and grammar freak. I overly care what people think about me. I like to watch football, and love my ravens no matter what!! I had skin cancer. I was obsessed with tanning. It made me stop but I still get really sad over how pale I am. I finished my first ten miler 6.21.08 I finished my first half marathon 3.1.09 Ten miler #2 = 6.20.09 Firefighter Stair Climbing Competition in Portland, OR = 9.27.09 I stopped weighing myself because I was obsessing. I weigh in once every 4 weeks with my trainer, and that's it. Excellence can be obtained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible.
