Hi my name is Theresa. Welcome to my Spark Page!!!!!
Food has always been center stage in my life, but I was never really overweight until my adolescence. I have tried to lose the weight with diet and exercise, but haven't had much luck. My turning point happened two years ago. I was working two fulltime jobs; One 3am to 3pm, and the other 5pm-12am. I was overdosing on Coffee, Energy Drinks, Caffine pills trying to keep going. I was very tired, very exhausted all the time. My unhealthy habits landed me in the ER with serious heart problems. A quote from the movie Shawshank Redemption came to my mind as I was waiting in my hospital bed. It was” Get busy Living or Get Busy Dying” I needed to start living. Since then I started to make changes in my life. I found SP and it has been wonderful!!! I am slowly learning how to take off the weight and (the best part) keep it off! I am SO DONE being the Fat GIRL (with a pretty smile). I am Done Being Overweight and not feeling good about myself.

JUST FOR TODAY I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life's problems at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

JUST FOR TODAY I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.

JUST FOR TODAY I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
