Deidre Malcom from Missouri

At 33 I can finally look forward in my life instead of backward. After undergoing 10 years of infertility treatments, 6 pregnancy losses, battling depression, and some major weight gain I can see myself in a way I have never seen myself before. Instead of constantly remembering the babies I lost, I look forward to discovering all the fun and adventures I missed out on with my 2 living children. I am thankful to find joy without having to be on medication to improve my mood. The clothes I pushed to the back of the closet because I refused to buy bigger clothes are replacing the pants with elastic waists because the weight is slowly, but surely coming off. Five months ago I started my weight loss at 238 pounds. Since then I have lost 16 pounds - a slower loss than I wanted, but for the first time all I care about is that it is coming off! In the past I would have given up and gained it all back by now, but today success is more important than speed. For the first time in my life I can see myself with less baggage on my body, in my mind, and holding back my spirit. After years of wanting to hide, I am ready to live. What made the difference? I started believing in myself instead of waiting for others to believe in me. Thank you for your broadcasts that are so inspirational!
