    - my husband and children. We decided as a family for all of us to eat healthier. I'm the only one with weight issues. They have been fantastic in being encouraging and willing to try new recipes as we experiment to find new favorites. It has made my journey so much more bearable.

    Nice list. I read something once that has really stuck with me through the years... it was something to the order of "what if you woke up tomorrow only with those things you were thankful for today."

    We have truly been blessed with so much. <3
