Silent lurker

I joined MFP a long time ago.. and I've always just been a silent lurker.
I still kinda am.
I've been too busy to be consistent... and I hate that for myself.
At my heaviest, I weighed 205 and was in a terrible relationship. I left and immediately jumped into a fitness journey.

I lost a lot of weight quickly and in a healthy way. I met my current husband, we got married, had 3 babies and I was happy and healthy. In the best shape of my life.
I was 120. Active, healthy. I was doing great.

Then alot of terrible things happened which caused me to fall into a pretty rough depression. I let someone move in with me which caused us to lose our house. I ended up moving back into an emotionally abusive childhood home WITH my own children. I lost my grandma. Was diagnosed with cervical cancer and then with kidney stones.

I gave up almost completely.

I gained alot of weight back (some is fluid retention from kidney stones) I'm now sitting at 165. Which I am not happy about.
BUT I am cancer free.
I still have a lot of kidney stones to pass but I realized, I am on top of the ground- the ground isn't on top of me. And my kiddos deserve a happy, healthy, and active mama. Not one who just allows bad things to happen and doesn't do anything about it.

I guess I'm posting in hopes of being surrounded by other people that can help keep me accountable and help me not give up. Seeing other people succeed has always inspired me and I also love helping people in any way that I'm able.

I have 0 friends on here and I think it's time to change that! If anyone else is in that same boat, add me! ^_^

K bye! <(-_-<)
