About Me
Mother of 3, 39 and married, need to lose 40 lbs by may/june, work part time as a teacher... I guess I should add that I was in an emotionally and physically abusive marriage (he still plays with my emotions) but my current husband is awesome...I stll have to deal with my X with the kids and I still somehow let him get to me even when I know better. I was molested by my Uncle (by marriage) when I was 9 and I am starting to realize that has affected me more then I thought. My anxiety, low self esteem, I blame on the abuse. But now I'm almost 40 and ready to put it all behind me, and it's harder than I thought. :) That's why I came to this site along with my doctor's help I might be able to do it! :)
