But what if it’s not our own flawed willpower or sluggish metabolism that’s to blame? What if we’ve just been using the wrong tools for the job? The truth is that dieting actually makes us fatter because it’s focused on control and deprivation.
I waited almost 25 years to have sex. I decided to have sex with my first boyfriend eight weeks shy of my 25th birthday. I didn’t hurt. It wasn’t fantastic. It was just … whatever.
What if I went to the gym just because I liked going to the gym? Were there good things about training I had overlooked in the past? Could I enjoy it for its own sake rather than as a means to an end?

Hi ~ I’m KatieP
Life doesn't turn out the way it's meant to. I believed that if I was a good girl and followed the rules then I would live the life of my dreams.
Instead, I ended up with an eating disorder and having to cope with my husband's decision to kill himself.
When everything turned to shit I no longer had the energy to be the person I thought the world wanted me to be. I discovered that being my authentic self opened up a world of joy and peace beyond anything I'd ever imagined.
Here on this site I share everything I know (and what I'm learning) about holding on to my authentic self in the midst of an imperfect life.
"Katie's website is one that I would highly recomend to all of my lovely female friends who may be struggling with their sense of feminine identity including the way they perceive themselves. Her blogs are highly insightful and her experiences are all lived ones."
~ Felicity
"Your words jump off of the page at me - and if I were stranded ... this is the blog I would take with me. hands down. It is not just "fun" reading - it teaches me about myself. It forces my to face my truth, but still feel okay with myself when facing the most damaged parts of me. I feel like you write to me, it hits my heart every time...it is empowering."
~ Jessica
"I absolutely adore your writing! I love your authenticity and rawness. Thank you for your honesty, integrity, and grace, Katie. You are such an inspiring warrior. Thank you for continuing to share your story!"
