When I decided to go on my journey of losing 100lbs I did it purely for me.  I was tired of being tired.  I was tired of eating, and eating and feeling horrible.  It’s funny because now I’ve got people asking me how I did it and if I feel any different.  I feel a lot different honestly.  I can [...]

It feels really weird to not be celebrating Christmas with my family this year.  There is a stack of gifts sitting in my dining room that won’t be opened today…they will wait until I can get home again.  I don’t know…I think being single and being away from your family is harder than being married and being away from them.  [...]
