Over the past year I have slowly gained weight back I had worked hard to lose in the past. It snuck up on me. I am an emotional eater, which was half my problem.

I just graduated college this past May, and I was having trouble getting a job. I was stuck at a job I absolutely hated and had applied to over 150 jobs and I couldn't get anything. I had achieved a 3.86 GPA with honors and worked my butt off in college. This caused me to be depressed and to eat my feelings away. I knew food made me feel worse, but I couldn't help it! When I eat bad, I FEEL BAD! I am very sensitive to bad food and suffer from bad acid reflux when I don't eat right. I was hurting myself.

I recently just got a job as a art teacher (what I went to school for, yay!), and I am so happy and blessed. So I woke up today and said enough is enough. Time to be healthy again. You only live one life, and I want to live a healthy one.
