My weight and the medical problems it has created are the only chink in my otherwise very blessed life. I have 3 beautiful sons and a very loving and supportive husband. I also have a very large extended family who are wonderful people as well.

Because I am a Teleworker (work from home), I don't really have much contact with anyone outside my immediate family and am reaching out for support and resources for this big step I am taking.

And I am absolutely head over heels for the San Antonio Spurs! Go Spurs!
