For many, the pain associated with gaining unwanted pounds can be overwhelming. Those who battle the mountain of woes which lead to weight gain find it difficult to lose the weight because many times they do not know how they gained it in the first place. The women who boldly and courageously share their stories in this 2nd Edition of Organized Obstacles decided to push towards purpose. They wanted more out of life and greater for themselves so they overcame the obstacles, laughed in the face of impossibility and lost the weight. Using a combination of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical strategies this book details the stories of these eight women who, despite all odds, won the personal battles and now live to empower others.
