The economy may go down, but it never really gets down until it's down in my own home. I realized this when I became a stay-at-home mom with no income but relying on my husband's income to sustain us. That's when I realized that happiness does not only depend on how much I bring home but also on what lifestyle I choose to live with the little that I have.

When I got my daughter in 2005, I gained weight and carried it for 3 years before I decided to lose it. It was the birth of my twins in 2008 that inspired me to lose the weight, use fashion to uplift my self-esteem, and get organized in order to be able to happily survive my busy, broke lifestyle. The decision to lose weight and how I lost it is what inspired me to write the book, "Losing Weight Naturally." I lost about 70 pounds within 5 months and shocked many.

I do believe that my book is going to stand out because I am not asking people to spend money in order to be happy, but to adopt an inexpensive lifestyle and be happy with it. Hence, natural happiness will follow. The weight-loss tips that I have given are the natural activities that will not require one to be rich to afford. I have not used any difficult scientific terms that are likely to discourage people from either reading my book or trying out the tips I have given. I do believe that anyone who reads the book will find something inspiring and life-changing. Most of what I have written is from personal experiences and the experiences of those around me. I have given examples of most situations, and I do believe that if it applies to me or those around me, it can apply to any reader to some degree.

With that said, I do understand that some people with health challenges and illnesses may be unable to carry out the activities I have suggested in this book. Theirs may be a different path better recommended by a doctor. I wish them all the best of good health and God's blessings and happiness.
