What I'm About Now

Hello and welcome to my blog!
As a person who's suffered from a whole host of issues related to food, diet, exercise, and the relationship between mind and body, I am starting this blog as a place to share instances where others can get a glimpse into the life and thoughts of someone with Celiac Disease and extensive food allergies. I plan on sharing recipes that work for me, stories that are hysterically funny and/or hideously embarrassing, and strategies I've worked out to life a full and productive life despite it all! Life is an unprecedented saga, but I hope to share my own story here first to help those with or who know someone with an eating or body issue.

Also, I just graduated with my doctorate in the worst job market in nearly 100 years. They tell us that it is getting better, but I'm not so sure about that right now. Like many, I apply for jobs in academics, the corporate sector, anywhere I can every day with no success. So a secondary focus of my blog might just have to do with that job search and what I'm doing in the meantime....which is actually REALLY exciting.

I am currently writing a book about the body and mind, my experiences with obesity, binge eating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Celiac disease, and food allergies. Tentatively entitled "Survival Strategies: How to Live Well When the Body Betrays", my book is in process although the book proposal is done. Now to find an agent....
