Have you ever just had to keep pushing? Even when you were tempted, well that's my reality I come from a family of soul food cookers, my aunt owned a soul food restaurant back home, I use to help her over the summer time and I learned how to make things for scratch, well after having my baby I weighed in at 273, I was discouraged and was giving up at one point of time, then I had to look in the mirror and say HEY GIRL YOU GOT THIS. Then I became serious with myself and said hey you got to do this for your health and you got to do this for your kids. After knowing most of my family has high blood pressure and sugar diabetes, I refuse to have to take meds for the rest of my life, it may not look like I'm getting there but honey I'm getting there. I weighed 273 after giving birth and now I am happy to say that THIS GIRL HAS MADE IT TOO 236, my goal is to reach 160. I'm a work in progress but I'm not going to give up this time, I refuse too ya know, sometimes it takes hard work and dedication.

At work I work 12 hours in extreme heat but I push myself every night to keep walking, even when my feet are hurting, I still push myself to keep walking. And I drink a gallon of water every night at my 6 hour mark I've drunk the full gallon jug of water it gets hard, but I keep pushing that's what it's all about is pushing even when you want to give up.
