About Me

About Me
Belinda Riley-Sanders
I am a 45 year old mother of one, and grandmother of one with another one on the way. I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada but was born and raised in the backwoods of Alabama.

I have had several relationships throughout my life. Unfortunately, for various reasons most failed. Some hurt very much, and others were less painful. I frequently turned to food for comfort and at my highest weight and lowest point I weighed 300 pounds.

Ultimately, after facing the most terrible days of my life, I began the stages of recovery. I am not healed yet, but I am on a journey toward happiness, self-acceptance, a healthy relationship with food, and most importantly, with myself.

In my spare time I am an aspiring photographer. I have had a fascination with photography ever since I was a little girl. I also enjoy cooking, cross stitching, and I dabble in genealogy.
