About

Hi, I’m the Reinventrix—aka Trixie! I’m in my early 30s. I weigh about 75 lbs more than I would like to (my doctors are in agreement). I have a wonderful live-in boyfriend who is concerned about me but doesn’t pressure me to change.

I haven’t had a dreadful life, not by any stretch of the imagination, although I do grapple with depression more often than I would like. I couldn’t say exactly how I ended up this way (overfat and underexercised), but it’s up to me to change things. Yes, I have been in therapy off and on for years. Ditto for Weight Watchers. Somehow nothing has “stuck” yet; by which I mean that I haven’t really stuck to any of these things.

Reinvention 101 is written from the bottom of the pit as I climb out, hand over grimy hand!
