Weighing My Options
by Shawneda Marks

Toni, Briana and Julie were "thick as thieves" throughout elementary, middle and some of high school. Now almost ten years after high school graduation they see each other at the family reunion and are shocked to find they all passed "thick" a long time ago. Devastated by the death of a cousin only one year younger due to complications of obesity they make a pact to bring healthy back. Frustrated and confused by endless diets and fads they encounter, each woman struggles to find weight loss success. A tempting wager, desire to live and hope for wholeness leaves each woman weighing their options.
