I am 36 years old. I am the proud mother of one 11 year old girl! (Where has the time gone?) I've been happily married for 13 years to my dear husband. I am also an elementary school teacher. I enjoy spending time with family, scrapbooking and travelling.

I have been dealing with being overweight all my life. I have so many blessings in my life....but this struggle seems to overshadow all the good things in my life. This if the first time I've joined an online forum. I hope this community is a place where I can be honest and be encouraged by others.
