Hi.  My name is Trouble Kari Lahree OHara and I have gained so much weight, I am growing out of all my clothes.  The last time I weighed myself, it was 191 pounds.  I had to buy elastic waist pants because I am still gaining weight.  My pants are a size 16/18 and my shirt size is a 16.  I am writing this blog to be accountable to myself and you in my efforts to change my life habits to a healthier, purposed filled life.  I want to track my life choices as I strive to become a more fulfilled human being.

Though my goal is to lose weight to a healthy amount, my pursuits in a healthier, less sedentary lifestyle will be documented here.  I want to do a whole life makeover.  Change my way of thinking, get hobbies other than watching tv and reading all the time.  Feel like I have a purpose.  As I explore and expand my world, I hope you come along with me for the ride.

I just started reading a book called The Artist's Way.  it is a 12 week course on how to unblock the creative in you.  I am hoping that I will be able to find a creative way to approach housework, for which I have a big phobia.  I suffer from PTSD and DID.  I am learning on how to function and handle stress.  I have a loving, understanding husband who helps me deal with the outside world.  To help me get out of the house, I became a Docent at our local zoo, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.  Number 5 Zoo in the United States and Number 13 in the World!  I am learning to crochet and do crafts.  I recently cruised Craigslist and was able to get a 20 pound bag of rice for crafts.  So many things I think I can do with it!  The possibilities!  I have lots of raw materials for crafts, just not organized enough to be able to do any right now.  That is part of what I want to work on, hoping The Artist's Way will help me sort out my environment block.

Come along for the ride, it's going to be interesting!
