The waters have been rough at times, but I am comfortable with my decision.
I enjoy writing poetry, short stories, and current news stories. I also enjoy photography, sports, drawing, reading, walking, and cooking.

When dieting is the foundation of a weight loss program, and the lifestyle and way of life are not considerations, it is only a matter of time before the weight is regained.
