I'm a thirty-something year old mom of three. I grew up on the borderline of healthy weight and overweight. I've always loved eating way too much, and now I'm obese. That word sounds way too much like beast for me to be comfortable describing myself as such. I like reading, writing, and staying around the house. I garden, clip coupons, and do a lot of other things related to collecting and eating food. I also like science, socio-economic subjects, and debates. My husband is tall, calm, smart and awesome. My kids are smart and cute, of course. I like my life, though I don't like having trouble tying my shoes.
