About five years ago, I had a sudden realization that I was heavier than I had ever been in my life. It came as a shock seeing as how the weight just snuck up on me. I decided to take action, and with my husband aka “healthy lifestyle buddy” I took charge of not only my weight, but my health and my life. I found I have inspired others in my family as well as friends, and I hope sharing my ever-lasting struggle, I can inspire even one more person.
