I am a 40 year old Mother of two amazing sons and a wife of a loving husband. I have battled my weight as long as I can remember, and sadly my struggle to lose weight is still my current reality. I have a story to tell, one that is worth sharing...
Has anyone ever knew they needed to lose weight, but just couldn't stop the bad eating habits? I knew I was getting bigger and bigger, but the food addiction would take over my thoughts and mind. I would eat and then feel guilty; it's a vicious cycle, and each time I was left feeling defeated. You would think that after three weeks of trying to get back on track, I would have just been able to make up my mind and put my thoughts into action, but NO, it doesn't happen that way.
Before I go any further, let me tell you a little about myself:
I'm a 40 year old Mother of two amazing sons, and a wife to a man who is unique and one of a kind. I am eternally grateful for having them to share my life with, and wouldn't trade them for the world. At the age of seven years old, I started to put on weight. I really didn't have too much of a problem when I was in Elementary, but Middle School proved to be a different story for me. I had true friends who loved me for me, but also there were the classmates who, I never did anything too, who treated me as less of a person, because I didn't fit THEIR mold. Because of this I hated school, and didn't learn at my full potential. Even to this day, I still feel that way, which is completely SAD. (Just a quick note: Your self worth is not determined by anyone, but yourself. You are a child of the Most High God, made perfectly in His image.) I have lost and gained weight at least 25 times in my lifetime. Each time I have to lose weight, I would feel strong that I would finally win the battle, but in the end would fail. I feel the strong need to share my story. If I can help even one person, its worth sharing my weightloss struggles as well as my victories along the way.

My husband has always loved me. He has seen me at many different weights, even when I hit my highest at 307 lbs. Today I'm 293 lbs, but am determined I will claim victory over my weight issues:) Here he is patiently waiting as I get my pedicure done:)
