In 2008, Samantha made the decision to lose weight. At nearly 300 pounds, she knew her addiction to food was controlling her life. She has since lost more than 100 pounds by making necessary lifestyle changes and choosing to be healthy, to stay active, and to have more fun. Samantha made this video to help others who are struggling with emotional eating, stress eating, binge eating, impulse control, and weight loss. "I am a fat girl on the inside, but I don't have to look like it on the outside as long as I make those changes every day of my life," she says.
