This is my story.

Hello my name is Dawnze (that's what all my family and friends call me.). Just to give you a quick run down on my life. I was a single mother raising 3 beautiful daughters on my own for years. I found the "Love" of my life. We dated 10 years before getting engaged, we were engaged for 3 years before we married, we will be married 4 years this July and he still makes me feel beautiful everyday. I however, don't feel as beautiful as he tells me. I started to become over weight about 2 years into our relationship due to some medical issues then depression hit because of the medical issues. Then I became more depressed as every year went by that we dated and everyone kept asking when we would get married. We were happy with raising our girls and we had no time for marriage. However that is what I told myself at the time it wasn't until much later that I realized I was depressed because the love of my life hadn't asked me to marry him. I felt as though I wasn't good enough to marry but I was good enough to raise the girls, work keep the house and put a meal on the table everyday. I longed for that commitment in my life, because I didn't have that I turned to good to ease the pain. But with that's sad story told, I am here to try to improve myself this time around and hopeful become that beautiful person my husband fell in love with and has a blind eye to my weight issue. I have managed to beat alcoholism and smoking both over 19 years each. No it's time to take this demon that controls me and beat it as well. On to a better skinner and healthier life.
