My name is Tamara and I have been overweight/dealt with #foodaddiction my whole life. One day, while being depressed and deciding to give up on life, I realized I no longer wanted to die. I then signed up with weight watchers weighing over 430 lbs, I completed 3 months and lost approx 35 lbs.  I then found the AWESOME app MYFITNESSPAL and started counting calories. I slowly changed my diet—lifestyle— along with doing whatever exercises I could at the gym or outside. I must say the road to living has not been easy, but it has been worth it!! I no longer have high blood pressure, diabetes, or joint pains. Above all, I'm taking my life back, and I want you to know that it is possible. YES, there are days, perhaps weeks, where we find ourselves off track; but I encourage you to keep fighting and stay positive. I realized along the way that I AM worthy of living a healthy life. And, guess what? You are worthy, too, so let’s live a positive and healthy lifestyle together!!! Most of all I'm thankful for God's grace and mercy!!

    Thank you Tamara for sharing your story, it is an inspiration to many of us. I have been struggling with my weight since I was in the 5th grade and now, I am 52 years old, mother of two and grandmother to two. I want to live to see my grandchildren grow up, have families of their own. The current path that I am on will surely not allow that to happen. My back has been out the last two weeks, but I decided on the way home from Wal-Mart one day to stop by our local Curves and check out the prices. The very next day, I went in and signed up. I wanted to make sure my husband was going to support me on this journey this time, not like in the past, buy me all the things he knows I love and I give in to temptation. Support and inspiration from family, friends and others like yourself are great for those of us that don't feel as though we have what it takes to do it alone; another reason I went to Curves. With my back out, I went to my first workout and aggravated it and made it worse, but I have rested for three days and need to get back on the wagon before I throw in the towel. Again, thank you for sharing, you look amazing, glad you didn't give up!
