I'm a 46yo woman, twice divorced & currently in a monogamous relationship. I'm a Christian & a registered nurse, working on an Oncology unit at a hospital. I have a 26yo son & 6yo grandson. As an Oncology nurse I have learned to appreciate each day I am given. I choose to fill these days helping others, but in the process I neglect myself. I'm at a place in life where I'm ready & willing to take better care of myslf. I don't smoke & on ocassions have a few glasses of wine. I eat relatively healthy, but could do better. My biggest dilema is finding time for physical fitness. Historically, I've maintained a healthy weight & fitness level until my last divorce in 2003. Since then, I have gained 30lbs & am SICK ABOUT IT! I hate the appearance of my body when I look in the mirror. I have a wonderful "Skinny" wardrobe that I can't fit into, but vow that I will again. I am here today seeking encouragement, insight, & advice from a community of people who share my similar struggles. I hope to gain & share knowledge that will lead me to live a happier, healthier life. Peace be with us as we journey!
