I am a 33 year old mother of a pre-teen daughter and married to a man whose weight has not changed more than +/- 5 lbs since I married him in 1996. I struggle with emotional/stress eating. I am a developmental preschool teacher and I love my job, but because it requires so much of my time I don't take care of myself properly. I am a proud practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism. I know that I have created all the causes for me to be where I am in my life right now. I know that I have the power to overcome the obstacles in my life.
