I have been a single mom for 12 years. I have two daughters, 16 and 18. I have always struggled with my weight but the last 12 years of putting my girls first have taken there toll. I have been dating a really great guy and even though he loves me just the way I am, I would love for him to see the girl I was when I was half the size I am now. I know it will take a long time to get it off since it took a long time to put it on.
