The wife, mother and grandmother of four decided to lose weight ten years ago. Her website says she lost over 100 pounds.
About ten years ago, I decided to change my thought pattern about food because I was watching my family suffer from the complications of diabetes, she said.
After witnessing family members pass away, Mother Love began to educate herself on Diabetes and healthy living.
Her father died at the age of 31, mother at 59, brother at 39, and sister at 51all were overweight.
You know you got a problem when I was the [smallest] and I weighed 257 pounds, she said.
