16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I moved to Ohio about 2 years ago and got married in July this year.  I love it here, but I miss everything that I left back home in Kansas. My brother and his family came to Ohio and stayed at my house hoping to get better jobs and move out...he found a better job but couldn't find a place to live that was within their means. So they moved back to Kansas and now I have to scrub my house from top to bottom, as they left it completely destroyed. As soon as my house is back to normal, I am starting a custody battle for my Son who is currently with his father. Since I moved to Ohio, my ex-husband has tried to allienate me from my son. So let the battle and the stress that goes with it begin!

I need as many friends as I can get at a time like this, so please feel free to email me with advice or anything that you think would be helpful with the diet or just life in general. Thanks for taking the time to read this...and always remember.......

Courage is not the towering oak that sees the storms come and go...It's the fragile blossom that opens in the snow!  :)

Love to scrapbook, my baby is my main hobby, decorating, and gardening (when its not hot)

Right now: candy, chips, soda.. Hoping to change that though

Emotional eating is my biggest obstacle. I eat when I'm bored, celebrating something, mad, whatever I just eat.

Right now to just loose anything would be great!  My ultimate goal would be to loose more than 100 pounds.

Google

Im looking forward to learning how to eat again. I want to get healthier for my baby and my health. I have challanges ahead of me b/c I have really bad feet problems, but I need to work through them I have a son now.  I am hoping to meet some great people who will become good friends. I could use all the support I can get. First I have to figure this site out..lol
