I am a 49 yr old single parent of 3.  I feel as if I am always trying to pay bills and make ends meet.  I started putting on the weight around 2005 after the death of my husband.  My children are 20, 14, 10 years of age.  I believe it is from depression and stress.  I am tired of feeling so disgusted with my body.  I am not able to shop for myself very often, but if I lost some weight I might be more determined to do so.  I want to be a healthy example for my children and my grandaughter.  I want to lead a healthy example for them.
