My Story
Hi Everyone,

In July of 2008 we found out that my Mom had lung cancer and given about 6 months to live. Well she passed away 8/2/08 at a hospice facility where I had lived with her for one week.

Then my one and only child went away to college in September. Now dealing with 2 losses, I decided to tear my kitchen apart and knock down a wall to keep my mind occupied. Well in December I got laid off and my depression really took a nose dive.

Jan, Feb and Mar '09 all I did was eat and sleep then finally realized that I was going nowhere with that routine so I joined Curves and decided to focus on myself first and job or lack of second. I have since lost 22 lbs. and 9". Curves has changed my life. I am healthier physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I am so appreciative that there is a Curves in my area. Good luck everyone and remember that we all have a warrior within us.

"How sad about your mom, I am so sorry! I know how sadness and depression can enhance the eating process. Congratulations on your acomplishment and keep up the good work! Curves is wonderful for not only the exercise but a healthy boost from all kind of women who care and make our sadness and stress go away in 30 min. I love curves and your story was a good one. Keep up the good work. Maureen a fellow member in Florida! "
