I'm battling and over coming my illness by working out, eating healthy and de-stressing my life. I know I can't cure my heart failure, but I can try to live as long as I can with these changes.

Horrendous car wreck in 1997 set me on a totally new path in life - lots of changes but many of them good. Had to quit working which was my life to living my life and doing things differently - even today.

I struggle with this everyday. I am diabetic and I have a lot of limitations especially with food. I just get through it and know I have to do the shots and eat right to stay healthy.

I have overcame my addiction to tobacco. I was a smoker for 10+ and have been smoke free for one year!

I have overcome my fear of just being me - love myself as Jesus loves me - so rewarding

I overcame long-ago hurts that were still hurting me by taking them one at a time, naming them, facing them and then putting them to rest once and for all.

I overcame my fear of social anxiety by striking up conversations with total strangers.

The heart - and all it can hold, like love - is a very powerful thing. Looking forward to reading this book!

Anything worth sharing here is too private to share, sorry. But I'd still like a chance to win the book and gift card.

I definitely don't compare to the other's comments but after reading them I have come to realize that what I feel like I'm overcoming on a daily basis is nothing compared to them. I deal with stress on a daily basis. I can't stop over thinking situations and preparing for the worse before it even happens. It's taken a huge toll on my health and my relationship and it's a daily struggle.

Living in Louisiana, with all of the delicious foods, loving to cook, loving to eat, I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I had to change my way of eating, cooking and going out. A whole lifestyle change! I overcame by trial and error. I wrote a cookbook to help others with celiac and gluten allergies!

I overcame PCOS by exercising and consulting doctors and never giving up on my dream of being a mother.

I overcame the rejection of most of my birth family. It's strange how blood relation can mean so little to some. I thought the reunions would be exciting and heartfelt, I was so wrong.

One year ago my business was failing, and my mother had just passed away suddenly. I went to a seminar on changing your life and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. I had been a small business owner for 14 years and had a masters degree, but could not get a job. I found a governmental program that allowed retraining for people, regardless of education. Now I am completing a 24 week job training program, and am about to start a six figure job in a area that I flourish. I had to believe, had to have faith, and had to listen to my angel who just happens to be my mother.

My 1st and only son was stillborn on July 9, 2013. I can't say I truly overcame it. It made me realize that life is short and live it to my fullest.
