All about Me

Tahlia Tells All!!"
So you want to know a little about me before you dive into my secrets huh? Here goes! Excuse me if I ramble, I will get better at this as I go along I am sure! Hi! My name as you know by now is Tahlia. I am actually a very ordinary person. I reside in a middle size town in the northwestern United States. I share my home with one adorable cat and a ferocious guard dog who protects me from the evils of the backyard! I love to rollerblade, mountain bike and hike. I am gaining confidence in my HTML skills everyday and have begun teaching myself CGI and JAVA as well! Eventually I would like to own my own business and create webpages for other people. For now I will practice here and learn as I go on my own pages! Most people don't believe me when I tell them how old I am. You probably will have no problem since you don't know what I look like. I might get brave enough to put a picture on here one day! We will see. At any rate, I just celebrated 30 years on this planet. I look about 21 at the most though. I am beginning to appreciate looking younger as I grow older but for a long time it was more of a curse than a blessing.

I was born in California but I have lived all over the world because my father was a career Naval officer and was stationed in a different place about every 4 years. Luckily I spent most of my school years in the same school district since he had to be away at sea for large amounts of time! I have 1 younger sister and though I always wanted an older brother I never got one. My Mom said unless I could find one that came with a lawn mower attached to him I was out of luck! Oh well! Too late now I guess! Sorry, I digress (I do this quite often so please be patient with me!)

I always strived to be the perfect daughter when I was younger. I never let myself get a grade below 90%. I was the captain of my high school Flag and Drill Team. I did chores without being asked to, in fact I volunteered to do them. My room was always immaculate. My only friends for the most part, were ones my parents chose for me or were just like me-perfect in their eyes. Those of you who are mothers may think of this as just being "a good kid". I however, attribute the need for perfection as a child to many of the problem areas in my life today. I was never one of those people with a perfect figure though. I look at my Mom and my sister now and realize they have great figures. They are not pencil thin, like the models you see plastered everywhere, yet they are not by any means overweight. I on the other hand am beginning to come to grips with the fact I have an eating disorder and hypoglycemia. I sometimes do not eat for days at a time, which I know is wrong but, at the same time I still see a grossly overweight person when I look in the mirror. I am told I have never been more than 10 pounds overweight. When I look at myself, when I look at pictures, I still see a fat person. I digress again! Perhaps I should have called this "Tahlia Rambles On"!

Now that you know a little bit about me and if you read the first page, why I am here, I can get started. As I said before, I came here to hopefully come to grips with my past and get a grip on my future. I hope along the way I can in some way help someone else so they do not wind up where I am today, with secrets held in side for far too long.

So, are you ready to begin? I think I am. My journey begins with Why doctors still scare me
