Working on a new me

This year I turn 50 and I want to be healthier and stronger for myself and for my kids. I have 5 kids ages from 16 - 25 that make me proud every day. I want to make them proud of me. I think I have accomplished a lot over the last few years. I went back to school to get my Master's degree in Art education. I am in my first year as a middle school art teacher and I thoroughly enjoy it. There are many reasons why I became obese, not losing baby weight, turning to food as a comfort, and I simply like food. I will have to retrain my brain to do something else for comfort and learn to like other foods in the place of bad things. I will need lots of support so anyone out there that is willing to help would be greatly appreciated. Have an awesome day!
