    I spent 20 years being metaphorically "controlled" by a man who held me captive, tortured, raped and tried to kill me. I am finally living my life, just for me, and all because I started running again (which I did before the assault but not after). I don't look at becoming healthy as having to make sacrifices-I look at every day as an opportunity to live for me, and to run towards something beautiful, instead of trying to run away from something awful. Don't look at becoming healthy as some sort of punishment you must endure-it's an opportunity.

    My two children who are in their 20's. They motivate me to be ther healthiest mom I can be for them. Plus, I want to be an active and involved grandmother for when they have their own children...probably not in the near future...so I have lots of time to make slow and gradual lifestyle changes.
