She vows to lose the weight and win her life back by joining a gym and attending a nutrition class.

From falling off a treadmill to being saved by him in a grocery store parking lot. She even chokes on a cream puff in a moment of weakness. Val just can't seem to get a break around him. If that is not enough, Val finds herself breaking into a hunting shack while stranded in the middle of a snowstorm with none other than the handsome gym owner. Will she find the strength to follow her heart and win back all she lost or move on entirely?
