New beginning

As a young child I was slim but as my friendships failed around 5th grade, I found solace in food and it created poor habits that continued through my mid-20s. I would go through periods of working out and watching my diet for a week or a month but then I would fall apart. I really got focused at age 32 when my son was born and when I started as a mail carrier and was walking 10-15 miles a day. I never knew how valuable my life was til my son was born and when I met my soulmate and best friend, Shelli!!!!! I really got focused when we got married and I saw how overweight and unhealthy I was. I saw a man that was an embarrassment to his wife, although she would never say so. I vowed from that day to never make a choice that would make me look like that ever again and I would model a healthy lifestyle for my children. I am about to adopt my step kids and give them the life they deserve and teach them what love and family is about.
