You have to learn your body. I learned that a lot of times I ate to be sociable.

A combination of Faith and fitness got me to my goal. I am 45 years old, soon to be 46. I feel better now than I did as an adolescent. I have always been different, but now I have embraced it. I love me.

Believe in yourself. Love your body enough to make it healthy so you can be around for a long time.

Go at your own pace. It’s not a competition. No matter what, don’t give up.

We were all born with a purpose, and being healthy, mind, body, and soul will help you fulfill your purpose.
