Introduction Text The last time I was on SP was in June 2013 and life was good. I was a newlywed and even though I had gained a few pounds I was feeling good and gearing up to really tone up. Little did I know that my life would be turned upside down in a few short months. To make a LONG story short I became incredibly sick and no one knew why. I went from hospital to hospital, doctor to doctor, and had 3 surgeries to try to help and nothing did. I sunk into a deep depression and began to hide my feelings in food. It has been almost six years and I am slowly starting to feel better. They found tumors on my spine that could be the cause of a lot of my pain but PTL they are not cancerous. I still struggle with severe migraines, fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis, as well as pain in my lower back from slipped discs. Oh and did I mention that my emotional eating mixed with many of my medications has led me to gain a tremendous amount of weight? The picture on the left of me and my boys in May 2013 I was 140lbs. I am currently 255lbs. I am so ashamed of who I've become. I have become a recluse, not wanting anyone to see how much weight I've gained. That's why I haven't been back on SP since 2013. I look at these pictures and how hard I had fought to get my baby weight off and now I am even bigger than my heaviest photo on here! It's shameful! I know I've been through so much medically but I still fault myself, especially since I did emotionally eat. It took one sentence from my husband to make me wake up from the coma I've been in, "I've never had my wife." That right there hit me like a ton of bricks. All of a sudden a light shined on the darkness of these past 7 years, and I knew it was time to get up. It was time to fight. That's why I'm here. To fight. To lose this weight once and for all and never look back. Will you join me?

Walk 60 minutes every day (regardless of pace) Gallon of water a day Try to close my iWatch rings daily Don't take the journey too seriously! Love every minute and be in every moment! Celebrate every teeny tiny accomplishment!

Currently working with my physician to create a healthy meal plan for me to follow. Right now my focus is on eating more on the regular, getting my portions under control, zero sweets (to break my sugar addiction), and a lot more healthy fruits and vegetables. She doesn't want me to do a lot of exercise, but wants me to get into the habit of walking every day. I am meeting with her weekly for the first few weeks, so this program can chance at any time.

My life is all about my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, my husband L, and my family. I have two teenage boys who inspire me every day to be a better ME and a man that supports me in everything my little heart desires. I am currently a stay-at-home-mom, thanks to being laid off due to COVID, and am focused on my kids and my weight loss journey. I love that I am getting to spend this time with my boys. In a few short years they'll be gone and I'll be an empty nester. I hope one day to get this life figured out and find my true calling but until then I am focusing on finding joy in the little things and finding me again! Thanks for visiting my page!! xoxo
