    I just joined today and came across your story and I found it hilarious, yet so inspirational at the same time. You made such a wonderful point about by making one change another happened that made such a huge difference for your family. Thanks for making me laugh and making me cry . . . it gives me hope that I'll be doing my own happy dance in time. Keep up the good work.

    My kids have also noticed how much happier I have been since I started working out and lost some weight. They are loving the new non yelling and no longer quick to anger mother! I also love the new change in myself!

    Completely awesome story. I think you've just pinpointed the very reason I'm such a big fan of Jillian Micheal's. She makes people realize that the weight didn't magically appear in 99% of people. There is almost always an underlying thing that either caused it or made it worse. Seems like you've passed the breaking point :)

    Awww!!!! Well, first off that is wondeful! I dont think you should think negatively about it at all. I mean, maybe you weren't perfect before, but all that matters is NOW. Don't beat yourself up over the past, congratulate yourself for the change you have made. I am sure they are all happy you have become a better mother/wife. Look at it this way.. they support you now, but even when you were a "nut case" they supported you still. Cant say there are many families out there today that would do the same.


    Funny story.. :)
