Where to begin? My story sounds like many of yours out there. Always had a weight problem. Tried every diet known to man. Lost a little bit of weight. Put it back on. Went thru a painful, long divorce including a custody battle which caused me extreme emotional pain. For the very first time in my life, I lost weight! Food had always been my comfort. Fortunately (or unfortunately), I took care of the emotional healing and, yes--you guessed it....put the weight back on! As a single mom of an amazing 11 year old, I want to enjoy life with him. I want to, by example, teach him a healthy lifestyle. He's going to be genetically disposed to having a weight problem just like both of his parents. But, I don't need to compound that by not teaching him how to make healthy eating choices.

Thru the divorce, I realized how strong I really am. God is blessing me in sooooo many ways. I am back on my feet financially. I have the most amazing job that pours out their appreciation monetarily. Emotionally as far as the divorce, the healing is at 99%. Mentally, I know that with God's help, I can do anything. Nothing that comes into my life is too difficult to handle. Now, I'm taking control of my physical life. 

So, look out on that loser's bench...........I'm headed towards it..........QUICKLY!!!
