I was on a journey to do something different in the summer of 2009, because I am overweight and have not been physically active for awhile. I I gave up my house and moved to Portland, Oregon in May 2011 because I have always wanted to live there. There, I found out that I had cancer in several places and had surgeries to remove them. I am still fighting and living each day as it comes. I have changed many things I was doing. It's a journey.

"Bad Body Fever Syndrome" This is taken from the book, Hirschmann, Jane R. and Munter, Carol H. "When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies: Freeing Yourself From Food and Weight Obsession"( Fawcett: 1995) The authors feel that central to women's oppression is the hatred of one's own body. It is the malaise women contract as a result of living in a cuture that devalues them and is still as rampant and contagious today.
