Hi everyone,
I am here to make a new start after a long battle with depression and not treating my body so well. I am in a good place now, and I am thankful for every day. I finally realized that I love myself enough to take care of myself every day from now on. I am ready!
I have a substantial amount of weight to lose, and I am ready to get healthy - not just lose weight. I am a single mom with a 13-year-old son, and I am a full-time court reporting student. I went through a very painful divorce in 2008, and since that time I have been abusing my body with the wrong kinds of foods and a lack of exercise. I have recently started walking 6 days a week, and I have been eating very healthy food with a lot of spinach salads with all kinds of vegetables, oatmeal for breakfast, smoothies, and lots of sweet potatoes. I have stopped eating fast food, and I really watch my bread intake. I love bread, but I find that if I eat more veggies and healthy carbs I feel so much better.
I have recently found out that my blood pressure is a little high, and I feel a sense of sadness because I realize that I am the one who has caused the problem. So I have decided to continue with my walking schedule, and I am going to add Turbo Fire into my workout schedule. I am going to ease into Turbo Fire slowly. I love how Turbo Fire makes me feel.
I am looking to meet new friends and I am here to offer any support and encouragement to anyone who needs it!

You sound like I did a few weeks ago. I've only been serious about this for a couple of weeks, but I find MFP has been extremely helpful in keeping me on track, especially my MFP friends. I have literally never met any of them, but everyone has been extremely supportive. One friendship request on the way0

Thank you so much! Nice to meet you. I'm finding that I'm really enjoying tracking my food and exercise on MFP. I think that the support of people like you is an added bonus.0
