HIS Radio

I am a 38 yo single female. Started gaining weight in Elementary school after my parents divorce. Lot of time home alone, with mom working 3 jobs. Filled the time and loneliness with food.

As I grew older, became comfortable with my weight. Went to college, graduate school, seminary. Several mission trips short term and long term all over Asia, and S. America.

In 2007, returned from a 2 year mission in N. India, for a 6 month furlough. During my furlough, my mom became ill and passed away in Jan. 08. She died suddenly at 62 yo.

I remained stateside to grieve and be near family and friends. During this time, I set up a private counseling practice. Yes, I am a professional counselor who is in the business of care taking of others. I just turned 38.

With that my weight remains high at 130 lbs overweight. With a strong sense to start care taking for myself so I can have a long and fruitful l ife, thought this was a wonderful opportunity to get started. Thanks you.

Particulary discouraged this week. Started out awesome. Three weeks solid exercise daily, lost 10 lbs!!!! Went on a mini vacation over Valentine's weekend, and last day sprained my ankle really bad with torn ligaments. Haven't been to the gym in over a week :(   Positive note, I at least know now I CAN DO THIS!!!
