My health and family

irenelink

I want to lose this weight because of my beautiful kids that are grown but this is for my grandkids as well. I am not in the best of health at this time but I think this would help my health dramatically and raise my self esteem. I have been a survivor of domestic abuse and this will help me stand strong and show myself that I can once again be independent.

You have come so far already. Its really good to take care of yourself. You have the very best of incentives being a more healthy you for the grandchildren. There will be days which don't go as planned, say, Ok, then get suck in the next morning, new day, closer to the new you. Survive and Thrive.
