In the 70's

I remember back in the 70's when I was a single mom, jobs were very hard to find. I had very little income. You took any job you could that came along.

I remember making 75 dollars a week and 35 of it went to a baby sitter. There was not much money left. I would go without to feed my children.

When I remarried, the one remark I made to my new husband was that I was so glad we got married. Now I can buy and eat anything I want.

My husband brought this up to me the other day. I had forgotten I said it.

That is what I did. I ate my self to 300 pounds. I was eating my self to obesity.
I cooked a lot! Always trying new recipes and I prepared 3 meals a day.
Because I had the means I was buying all kinds of food that I should have not been buying.

I really felt like since I had struggle in my life for food, now that I didn't have to, I was going to take full advantage of it!

I am so blessed now to realized what I was doing to myself by overeating. It took 27 years to stop doing it. Please don't do the same. Loose the weight now.

In Jesus,
