After some deep soul-searching, I decided I needed to leave my job.  So, I planned and plotted and gave a resignation notice after a big project was completed at work which just happened to coincide with the end of my apartment lease.  Talk about great timing, this was a sign that I was making the right decision!  At this point, I was 6 months post-treatment although still seeing a therapist and going to group therapy each week.

I packed up my apartment and Tai Baby (he was so ready – see below!) and I moved in with my mom and step-dad with the dream of opening a center to treat people with Binge-Eating Disorder and Obesity.  And so….LifeStrides was born!
