Hello all!  Please feel free to refer to me as V!  Today is a tough one:  attempting to maintain a smile while not just WEIGHING IN but also while taking a PHOTO OF WEIGHING IN!  I believe that all of us have taken the first very courageous step toward a better us!

I'm a mother of two as of current, but hoping to conceive another very soon!  For the past two years I have struggled with Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD.  I have also been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Occipital Neuralgia.  In preparation for conception, I have weened off ALL medications and am currently taking prenatals.  It is my hope to use exercise as my anti-depressant, my anti-anxiety medication, and hopefully improve my bodys abiility to deal with pain.  Most importantly, I'm improving my health for the well being of my future child.  

I am a military veteran with two deployments behind me (Iraq and Afghanistan).  I met my husband in Afghanistan and while we were friends to start, a year and a half later we became official.  We have since had two beautiful boys and now I have the pleasure to stay home with them.  

I am really excited about DietBet and I wish you all the best of luck!  YAY US!
