THREE YEARS AGO
This picture was taken of Karen on New Years Eve, 2004. I was divorced, going to college, struggling to make ends meet, and I was continuing a lifelong pattern of eating all sorts of sugar and junk food to try to make myself feel better. God provided me a way out when I started Food Addicts 5 days later. It is good for me to remember where I was and why I go to the lengths to stay in my program and keep healthy. I did not know by giving up the food and surrendering my addiction to God that He would bring so much good into my life. I am so grateful!

Here is a fun fact: At my lowest weight, I lost a total of 181 pounds. (I'm still slowly losing post-pregnancy). If you add up Dean and Micah's weight today, it is exactly 181 pounds! How cool is that! I lost 181 pounds, but gained two amazing and incredible people in my life...not to mention all the friends I've met along the way! GOD IS GOOD!
