Introduction Text "I make sure I eat well without depriving myself of the things that I love. Everything in moderation." --Kate Hudson "All revolutions are impossible until they happen--then they become inevitable." Follow Me On Twitter! @ciaramblecka I have been on Sparkpeople a long time!! Something like five or six years!! But what I have learned in that time has been indispensable. I grew up with anorexia that developed into bulimia, but despite having bad bulimia that got out of control and caused me to gain 100 pounds....I lost 91 pounds with Sparkpeople, but I had terrible body dysmorphia and after losing the weight, felt like it hadn't made any difference and got super depressed and knew my life was no different being thin than it was being fat. I started gaining weight again and gained it all back plus more. I started thinking I had binge eating disorder and started seeking treatment and blogging on Spark, searching for answers. Found Brain Over Binge and got a hint about my bulimia, but didn't quite put the pieces together. But after a lot of time and effort, things finally made sense and topping out at almost 282, I began to commit to Buddhism, exercise, and nutrition and things began to make sense. Figured out I was bulimic and how to manage recovery while also focusing on becoming healthier. I use Sparkpeople to do just that: become healthier. Now I am focusing on bodybuilding, sports nutrition, and anything fun with fitness that comes my way!

My goals are to become as physically fit as an athlete/female bodybuilder with 4% bodyfat, to be able to bench press 300 lbs, to be able to run with my son, to master yoga and acro yoga, and have a metabolism fast enough to eat whatever I want and not worry about it. Also to be in physically strong condition in my old age.

Exercise 6 days a week and to do a different form of exercise every day. To eat to fuel my workouts and my peace of mind. It's my goal to master intuitive eating. To be able to self motivate in a powerful way, but also get support from my buddies and give support in return.

I am a novelist. I am a Buddhist nun but also getting into Apologetics. I have a 9 year old son and a Pomeranian. I love comedies and cartoons. My two favourite musical artists are The Killers and Skrillex.

I try to blog daily so feel free to follow my blog. I try to be honest about my experiences with health and fitness, what I have learned from having a history of ED, losing 91 pounds, gaining it all back plus more, and being in recovery from bulimia and learning to focus on health not weight!!

A craftsman who borrows some tools will try to make the best possible use of them while they are available. Your body, too, is actually on loan to you for the time being, for the brief period left before it is taken back from you by death. Had you better not use it to practice the dharma while you can?" --The Day After You Die
