Hey guys!

I’m Desiree. I’m I the middle of a divorce and super stressed out at work. I’m a stress eater and over 40. Scale says I’m obese. Hurts me to be over 230. Actually, it hurts to be over 200.

I’m looking for lots of help. I can’t afford a trainer as much as I need to. My diet sucks but I’ve become relatively more active than I used to be. I know working out and bad diet still doesn’t help you lose weight.

I love peanut butter and bread. Help!!
