I am 39 and a single mother of a 9-year-old son. I fell into a depression at the end of last year due to some personal issues and finding out my son has High-Functioning Autism. I turned to food to numb myself from life.

I have always used food as a crutch for everything: happiness, sadness, anything. It gave me instant gratification, but I always felt horrible after I was done stuffing myself. I gained 50 lbs. in 5 months and have decided that I finally need to snap out of it. I refuse to feel awful when I turn 40 in August.

I heard about Medifast and have been lurking on the message boards and blogs for a while. I am amazed at the success stories and decided to order. I started May 1st and already feel changes in my body and attitude! I know this is the program for me…
