With an eclectic background in the business world (secretary, retail business owner, commission sales, internet business) and a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother - Whoa.  How did I find time to write a book?  Well, since I had time to lose the same 40 pounds over and over - and over and over,  finally discovering a healthy way to lose that flab and keep it off almost required that I write about it.  Now that I've done it, I can't stop.  With my daughter (also a successful weight loser thanks to Mom), I'm authoring a blog and planning my next book.  I could never have foreseen that I would launch a new career at this point in my life but, hey, I figure I've got another good 20 years left.  I might as well fill it up by doing what i enjoy.   As addictions go, writing isn't so bad and I don't want to be cured of it.
