Hello, and welcome to my Spark Page. Ever since I can remember, I have been overweight. I never remember a time in my life that was not shadowed or overshadowed by weight issues. Even when I was a decent weight for a year or two of my life, I did not know it, and therefore, did not enjoy it.

Join me in this journey and we will run the race together, cheering each other over the finish line; but we won't quit once we cross that line. Instead, we will keep on going, maintaining what we have accomplished and becoming healthier each day, becoming a WHOLE person.

James 1: 2-4 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. (The Message Bible)
