I am on an emotional roller coaster ride to survive and to conquer obesity, not only for myself but also for everyone that battles some kind of addiction.

I have always been "Hacky Wacky" which is my lingo for HAPPY! I refuse to allow my obesity to control me.

I refuse to allow people to stop me from living and enjoying my life.

The meal plan was hard at first because I am a snack eater, but the most challenging part is trying to change my pallet to like healthy food.

I am on an emotional roller coaster ride to survive and to conquer obesity, not only for myself but also for everyone that battles some kind of addiction.

I want us all to get healthier, but also to live life to the fullest along the way. I want people to live their lives no matter what.

I don't let negative attitudes and meanness from other people keep me from living my life.
