Introduction Text Did I reach the middle of the palindrome of my life? I think that is what my high weight symbolizes. It symbolizes a culmination of years of events and activities that resulted in bad decisions for my body. Is it time to return to the beginning? If this palindrome is a bell curve of my weight, then I think so. Not only am I tired of fighting my weight in all the wrong ways, I'm also tired of sacrificing healthy self-care habits for my career. These pages will record my journey back to the beginning of my weight struggles. The highs and lows, the successes and the failures, and ultimately a return to the healthy balance and perspective I used to enjoy.
