I've been overweight since college. The typical story: my 'freshman 15' turned into 'freshman 50' then continued to rise. After college I married, had a child, and went through a divorce by the time I was 26. I was devastated and turned to food for comfort. Since that time I have found happiness in just being myself and being the best mom I can to my daughter. Although I'm happy with myself on the inside, I'm miserable with how I feel on a daily basis. I'm tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I get at night. I want to be able to keep up with my daughter & be as active, if not more, as she is. I know my day to day battle is weight based so I'm taking charge of my life after years of failed diets and frustration.
