After calling of my wedding in 2005, I stopped caring about myself and my health. My weight spiraled out of control, until I hit a high around 260lbs. In 2007, I lost 50lbs and have kept it off, but I have decided that it is time to get control over my body and my life.
I love wine and food, but my main problem is overeating when I am stressed out. I also give into my unhealthy cravings every time I have them.
I have committed to losing 70 lbs through diet and exercise and plan to overcome my emotional and mental hurdles by journaling and creating this blog.
I am 28 years old and am ready to find a wonderful man to start a family with. I commit to losing this weight for my family and friends, but most of all, for myself. I am worth it!

Good for you!!! Wish I was there to cheer you on in person but I know you will be super successful!!! Love you tons, Marissa
You're an amazing person...someone will sweep you off your feet when you're not even expecting it!! Love you!!
I too have been on a similar journey the past 2 years and I will be following your blog! I know from my own experience of battling weight for many years, that the mental aspect of weight loss and keeping it off is the key!
Of course movement is my saving grace for many things in my life and cycling saved me in so many ways, maybe as walking did for you!
I am so very glad that I met you at TTR and believe it was one of the main reasons that I was sent there for my short time! You are an amazing young woman and I am so proud of you and all that you have done and will do, this blog will help so many people and in the end may become a beautiful book!
I love you and am rooting for you all the way my friend!
Love Catherine Young
If you get this comment written 3 different ways it is b/c I tried to blog before registering.
AS I was saying, I remember when you called off your wedding. You went through a long dark period but have come out on the other side a better person. I see you as a beautiful, intelligent and more grounded woman. God uses times like these to get us ready for bigger things.
You are going to achieve this goal b/c of the inner work you have done. I think it is important to have our outside shine to reflect the inner beauty that is going on.
You go girl. I love you.

I dedicate this song to you. In honor of your strength within. I love you!!!!
"Stand" By Rascal Flatts
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Oh
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
MAK YOU CAN DO IT~XOXO
