I am recently divorced and trying to make a new start for myself. My life has really changed from being a 25 yr homemaker.I am hoping to get into college before long. I have a weight problem and I had been obese for many years. I joined DS about a year ago looking for support in helping me loose weight. With the Help and Support of all the friends I have made here on DS. I have to date lost 159lbs and am no longer obese, but I am still 25 lbs over weight.
I like hikeing, going for long walks. I like to curl up on the couch on cold days with my loved one talking or watching a good movie. I prefer a good home cooked meal to going out to eat. I love music from the 70s and 80s. Im not much of a tv watcher would much rather spend time talking or being with my loved one.

So nice to hear from you!!! School is going alright, busy as usual. Hope things are going well for you!!! You look great!
Sometimes when we are weary, And feel our strength is gone. Sometimes when we are lonely, And have lost hope to carry on. Sometimes in darkest moments, When we think that no one cares. God hears our cries and then sends Jesus, So our burdens He can share. Keep your eyes upon the Savior, Don't give up, just trust in Him. He'll love and guide you through each trial, And give you hope to try again. When your heart feels only sorrow, And you don't know where to turn. When you see no reason to continue, He will gently help you learn. That every trial and each temptation, And every problem that we face, Can be a lesson of great value, If learned by His Amazing Grace. Just put your faith and trust in Jesus. He holds the answers to each prayer. Just take His hand that is extended, Because He is waiting for you there. So, keep your eyes upon the Savior. Don't give up, just trust in Him. He'll love and guide you through each trial, And give you hope to try again. In Christ's Love, Teresa
Praying that all will go well with you as you begin your new adventure with school. Again you will be inspiring me to make some changes with me and hopefully I will be a student again next year. May the Lord bless you and give you all the desires of your heart. You are such a blessing to so many. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
I've never met a person yet who lived without some pain; We have some lovely days of sunshine followed by the rain! Just stop and look around you at the people passing by; You'll see faces filled with happiness and some with tear filled eyes! God didn't promise sunshine each and every day; To each life there'll be some pain and sorrow that will come our way. But He'll give to us a rainbow and His strength to carry on; For the sun will shine once again when the rain is gone! He promised He'd be with us through the good and the bad; The love He gives to us each day will make our hearts rejoice and be glad! He knows when we are hurting, and when fears and doubts creep in; But if we put our trust in Him, we'll know the sun will shine again! When all the pain and fears are gone and we have peace and joy once more; We'll mount up with His wings beneath us and once again with Him we'll soar! So wipe away those tears my friend and smile through the rain; Remember sometimes we must lose if His best we are to gain! And remember........ God Loves You! And so do I..... Love, Teresa
Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless Toby in a special way today. I ask that you show her all the blessings that you have bestowed on her and to let her know how much she is loved. Give her the strength that she needs. May she drink from the living waters and never grow thirsty. May she continue to rest in Your arms of love and to know what a precious child of God she is. She has truly been a blessing not only in my life but in all the lives she has touched and continues to touch with her love, understanding, and compassion. She gives of herself to help another. For this I am truly grateful. Thank you for allowing us to be friends. May she continue to walk by faith and not by sight knowing that You are always there taking her by the hand and walking with her. And in those times that she finds difficult, may You carry her and set her on solid ground. Fill her with joy that she may sing Your praises and know how much she is loved. Also continue to embrace her when she feels lost. Continue to strengthen her when she is weak, comfort her when she has grown weary. May she continue to breathe Your grace everyday of her life. I ask all these things in Your Precious Holy Name. Amen Love, Teresa

I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Like other people I have lost weight just to put it back on. I am addicted to food. The thing with that is you have to eat you can't just quit. I am a stress eater also. When I get upset or worried about something I turn to food. I get so upset with myself for doing that.
What can I say I love food. I do tend to binge some, but lately have been able to control a little. I had days when I was eating from the time I got up to the time I went to bed. My doctor once asked me what I was eating that was causing my weight gain, I told him I just ate everything.
My son joined the Army in 2004. He drives lead truck in conveys and is a MSRL crewmember. He went to Iraq in November of 2005 and is now back in the states. Thank God.
I have made a life style change and I am tring to eat healthy. Which I do 95% of the time. Learning to eat healthy has been a struggle.
