Hi my name is Heidi and I think I have a pretty good handle on what I need to lose weight. My problem is when life gets in the way I tend use food as an emotional crutch. Unfortunely the past few years have been extremely difficult with dealing with a parent who had terminal cancer, and finding out the man that I loved was not who he seemed to be and I gained a significant amount of weight. But now I feel I am back on track and am hoping being a member of the my fitness community will lead me to success.
