"If I beat cancer I could beat my weight problem. I could do it," Rebecca says. And she did. To date she's shed more than 100 pounds and there's no stopping her now."I can do it on my own," she says noting that the monitored program is over and she's working out independently at the Wellness Center. "They can't kick me out of that place." Thanks to cooking classes at Miles Perret, she's learning a new way to eat. "It's completely change my life," she says. "I didn't feel it was the end for me. I knew I was going to live. I had a positive feeling. I wanted to be positive for my kids."
"I'm a fighter. I don't give up. I didn't. I don't and I never will!"
