MaryAnn, glad the success stories are helping you over the humps.
You will be one of those success stories, too, if you will stick to your program.
It's not always easy, but it is SO worth it!
Remember that although you can't control your circumstances at work, you have full control over YOU.... and you CAN stick to this way of life and reap the beautiful benefits -- for yourself!
Also, if you will MAKE yourself start and stick to an exercise program, it will help a lot with the stress. I hate to exercise, but make myself do it, and I always feel so much better on the days I do.
This is all about rebuilding your life and your future.
Be strong!
