A Fresh Start

Last December I made a great beginning with SparkPeople, and quickly lost 20 pounds. But when the recent stress of my life increased again, I went back to my old habits of using food for comfort. Over the last several years I had been through a number of losses and crises, and food had become my drug of choice. Like any addict, I abused my drug, allowed my drug to affect my health and well-being, and had made poor financial choices to support my habit. My husband has developed serious health issues, and I need to be healthy to care for him.
