Introduction Text I started this journey on Spark in Febrary 2007 at 193 lbs. Since then, I had a very successful year in 2011 losing 40 lbs. On October 23, 2011, my 2nd daughter suffered a severe traumatic brain injury during a horse riding accident. She was in a coma for 8 days, in the hospital for almost a month, and in rehab several more after that. At that time, life seemed so sorry. Why not eat what you want when you want it?? Unfortunately, with those self destructive thoughts, I have returned full circle and regained those 40 plus 15 more. Oh, how I didn't want to be one of "those" people. ;-) I have a story...we all do...to explain what happened to me, and why I went back somewhere that I never wanted to go. But for now, I want to move forward and stop looking back at the coulda', shoulda's!

I want to be comfy in my skin and have energy to burn with my 4 kids and my husband. I want to live an active lifestyle and encourage the same in all of my children.

I'm walking, doing Jillian Michaels dvd's and participating in the BLC here on *Spark*

I'm a new crocheter (or hooker) LOL! I absolutely love taking a raw material and turning it into something completely different. So far, hats, scarves and stuffed friends are my specialty. I am a married, mother of 3 girls and 1 boy. I am a Christian and was saved in October of 2002 after months of seeking something. I say that I was seeking, but really God was courting me for a period of time. I love and cherish my family and want to change my views of food (I am an emotional eater from the word go) so that I can teach my children (especially my girls) about positive self image. I pray that they never encounter the pain that I have in my life!

I love to read, particularly Christian Historical Fiction...some days, I wish that I was Laura Ingalls Wilder living on the prairie...
