I overcame ALL my obstacles... hypothyroidism, menopause, borderline diabetes, etc... not to mention ALL the naysayers and doubters saying "SHE will *never* change!!" And just did it anyway!!

When was the last time you had to stop and think about your next step when walking? Seriously! You haven't had to, have you? I'd say unless there is some specific reason that walking is difficult for you (such as in an injury, handicap, etc...), then most, if not all of us don't really give a whole lot of thought to how…

Rethinking my relationship with food, feelings, and every other aspect of my life is how I arrived at the place I am today!
