I am a 37 year old mother of 2 teenagers.  I am married to the most wonderful man in the world.  I have a wonderful career.  Somewhere in all of this I lost myself.  There are times I could blame the fact that I had a hysterectomy but so have other women.  There are times I could say my first husband abused me but others have walked in those shoes as well.  There are times that I could say because I was the victim of a brutal rape that I put on weight to hide.   The truth is while all of this is true  the most important thing in all of this is I LOST ME!

In October of 2008  I got to my breaking point.  I broke down and cried and said I do not like what I have become.  My weight has effected every aspect of my life.  I don't like to go out because I feel like people stare at me.  I don't like to stay home because I don't feel fulfilled in life.  I get angry at my husband because he eats everything and cannot gain weight to save his life.  I  HAVE HAD ENOUGH!  Well i used the phrase "if you don't like the movie, Change theaters."  So I am Changing my theater!

I have quit smoking,  I have found god!, I have worked on my demons, I have found the inner diva in me and now I will be making my outside match my inside!  I WILL LOVE ME AGAIN!  I am too young to feel as old as I feel and I am taking back my life.  No longer will I let those that hurt me in my past control my future I have.   I WILL LOVE ME AGAIN! From the inside out!
