About Katie

Who am I? Well, I'm Katie, aka Katie Marie, Katie Bug, Reba, just to name a few.
I'm 26. I have a mental illness and anxiety. I used to say I am this or that. But, it's not true. It's a condition I have, it doesn't define me. I'm also a survivor of sexual assault. I am leaving behind the survivor status and heading into Thriving.

I'm a kind-hearted, generous person, sometimes to a fault. I think living with a mental illness enhances it because I know what it's like. But, I've always be a kind, caring person.

I love to read, writing, talk, watch movies, take selfies, etc. I'm a really outgoing person. A social butterfly, if you will. I do have anxiety that can get in the way, but I'm learning to control it.

I love animals. Especially My kitties and families' pets.

I want to be a voice to those who have not yet found theirs.

I love God and all the wonderful friends and family He has blessed me with!

I'm engaged to my best friend!!


I'm sure there is more, but I don't want to write a ten page blog. Want to know something? Just ask. I'm usually not too shy.

All my love,
Katie

The number will never be enough.

I have realized on this hell-ish journey of what they call anorexia, that the number will never be enough. I've been starving myself off and on since about February. First it was to lose about 10 lbs that I gained while my thyroid was under active. I started eating better but just ate less. I finally got back to my normal weight. And I decided I was gonna go lower. Mostly because I hate my breasts. So, I started cutting back on calories. Counting them on an app and a tracker that counted how many calories I had burned. I'm really not much of an exerciser, so I mostly just restricted what I ate, between eating normal on weekends or when with friends. Didn't want them to catch on and wanted to still enjoy myself and not put my life is jeopardy. Well, I'm at about 10 lbs away from what I called my goal weight. And the last few days I really restricted so I can finally reach the goal. I've agonized over getting help and eating right and just a constant battle with my th...

Christmas Blessings

Lame title. But, how many blog posts can I call "Merry and Bright"?!  What can I say? Our first Christmas together, of course didn't go as perfect and planned out as I tried to make it, but, it was perfect. Absolutely perfect. I was surrounded by amazing family, friends and of course my husband. This was our first official Christmas together and Christmas Day was our 5-month anniversary. 5 months ago I said I do, and I'll keep on saying it. And now with the new year fast approaching I know what my goals for 2016 and beyond are. It's something I will have to work on and slowly progress with. But, I know now I don't have to do it alone, I have my wonderful and sweet husband to work with. And I can't think of anything better. This year didn't go anywhere close to as planned, it showed me some of my hardest days, it showed me some of the best. And everything in between. This is a journey I'm on, to truly being a new Creation in Christ and becoming Kati...

Thankful even when bad things happen

I am thankful I am a survivor. And I am thankful for opening up about what I've gone through. I have met some incredible  people. And having them in my life is worth it. They have helped me through so many things. I'm not glad I was assaulted, but I am glad for what I've learned and how I can grow, heal and help others through this experience. That's all I got.
