    Here's the bottom line: start today. Right now. Forget about what you ate for breakfast or lunch earlier today or earlier this week. Put down that unhealthy snack. Every breath is a chance to make a better choice. So start right now and make the next right choice.

    I work a full-time job and 2 part time jobs. I have 5 kids. One of my kids has pretty intense special needs and requires round-the-clock skilled care. We're broke and we live paycheck to paycheck. I have never ever been healthy. I am genetically predisposed to being overweight. I had a horrible childhood. I went through a messy divorce. I'm a food addict.

    Seriously, name just about any excuse and it's my excuse, too.

    But you can decide today to take your life back. Right now you can make the next right choice. You can.

    Amen. Get it, girl! You look amazing!

    I love the MFP community! Thanks for your comments, messages, feedback, and encouragement. It means the world to me and it's one of the big reasons I've been able to stay committed to this new way of living.

    I always felt like a failure because everyone said "One day at a time" was the key, but I couldn't even make it through one meal or one snack without making a bad choice. It wasn't until I realized that I didn't have to tackle an entire day that I finally felt like this whole life makeover was manageable.

    The truth is that I may have made over my entire life, but I do it one tiny choice at a time.

    Thank you, friends! :)

    I'm totally impressed by the physical transformation. You look fabulous. But I'm even more impressed by your emotional and mental resilience. You rock!
