I stood in front of the mirror like I did every morning, avoiding eye contact with the woman looking back at me.  She’d changed a lot from the college girl who sold high fashion clothing to wealthy women, and I wanted to give her some privacy.  But this morning was different.  She looked back at me, her stare unwavering.  This overweight woman let me know she’d taken over my young, skinny body and wasn’t planning to leave any time soon.

Within an hour, the concept of The Diet Diaries was born, and a month later my first column, The Fat Lady in the Mirror, was published in the Albuquerque Tribune.  A couple of weeks later it was read on the air by nationally syndicated radio talk show host, Dr. Laura Schlessinger. 

The Diet Diaries Blog has gained a national following and has been featured several times on MSN as one of their features Spaces.  It has also spawned the possibility of a book based on the column and blog, and it is currently being considered for national syndication.
