2009 was quite a year. Our coffee shop went out of business and now we are dealing with some real financial troubles, including bankruptcy and possibly losing our home. I just found out that my unmarried daugher is going to have a baby. But I am okay. I have a strong faith and I truly believe God will provide. But all of this, especially our business, has taken a toll on my health. I really have let myself go while trying to deal with the stress. I think I have finally learned that I cannot succumb to my addition to food no matter what is going on in my life. The challenges just keep coming at me and if I keep eating through them, I will simply get huge like my sister did and it killed her. Instead of going to food to handle life, I need to continue to go to God in prayer. I am weak and He is strong. Although He won't give me more than I can handle, I do believe he wants me to count on Him to help me get through this stuff. I can't do it alone. This website, and the Downsizer's team is a great support!
