About
Sorta Ginger isn’t about spice, and it isn’t about Tina Louise on Gilligan’s Island. It is about a fading redheaded 35-year-old dealing with being severely overweight obese while still dealing with bulimia. This blog is my way to work through the feelings involved with that since not everyone in my not-online life is privy to this information
I promise, it isn’t all doom and gloom though. This blog is not called “Diary of a Fat Bulimic” for a few reasons, one being that I don’t want to identify myself with just that one thing. Plus, I am trying to become healthier. There are other things in my life that I like to ramble on about, even if it is just to myself sometimes.
I love color but can’t draw or paint to save my life, so I stick to my artistic expression through wacky nail polish. Especially blue or other unprofessional colors. I can be very sarcastic, but not hurtful. I have the sense of humor of a teenage boy sometimes, which works well with the teenage son. At least it adds to the laughter in our house! We both rock out to cool and lame music, quote goofy movies and get overly competitive with MarioKart races. Try as I might to embarass him with blue hair, black nails, Hello Kitty shirts, etc. he shrugs it off. So I will keep trying.
To tell the truth, I am a huge dork and am embracing it at this point in my life. Given that I am an introverted bookworm who loves cats,is divorced and still single, that bodes well for my future. I just hope that rather than end up a cat lady, I end up a Cat Woman like Julie Newmar.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ha, ha, how is the hunt going for Mr. Right?
Lots of Future Ex-Husband material so far. Maybe I’ll try seriously looking again in 2013

I’ll do my best to make you laugh, I promise. Hang in there yo…M/
Thank you and rock on!
You sound like an amazing person! I love playing mario kart too! And sometimes I think I appreciate the sense of humor of teenage boys more than the average person. I think we’ll get along well!
Thanks for following my blog!
Thanks Lily, and likewise! Thanks for letting me tag along

In recognition of your excellent work I have awarded you the Very Inspiring Blogger Award the link to which can be found here http://veryberryextraordinary.wordpress.com
Wow, thank you! I am very bad about following up on awards, but I plan to remedy that soon.
Thanks for sharing this…one thing I haven’t yet addressed on my mostly-gloom-and-doom blog is my own bulimia, which I’ve battled for about twelve years now, and is actually one of the major factors in my meth addiction. Being thin, sadly, was always more important to me than being healthy, sane or trustworthy. Crazy, right? Anyway…your courage to talk about this has me thinking about writing something about that other disease of mine. Weird that it’s almost harder to go public with than my meth addiction. Major inspiration kudos to you. Have a beautiful day, can’t wait to go read more of your posts.
Thank you for those words, Andy. A struggle is a struggle, and sometimes it really only makes sense to us. I know writing helps me, even when it is silly stuff or a serious, emotional post. It helps to just to connect somehow, somewhere. I hope that it helps you to share your story too, in whatever elements or timeline you feel comfortable sharing.
Wishing you peace and strength in all your journeys,
JC
