Cheryl Williams
I most recently completed writing my first novel, dealing with teenage girls, body image and self esteem. This is a topic that is very important to me, and one that I write on often. Dieting and weight loss are topics that need to be explored. There are healthy ways and unhealthy ways to lose weight. I have a mission to spread the word as to how to do it in a healthy way.
