    Sweet mother of God....I am sitting here in tears. Your story of survival is amazing to say the least. Kudos to you for taking responsibility for your actions and what got you to the point of where you are. So many are so quick to make excuses and blame others for the horrible things in their past that make them who they are today. I am a firm believer that every bad thing that has happened in my life has made me a stronger person today. We have to learn from them. You can either be a victim or a survivor and I choose the latter.

    Good luck to you! You have a strong mind and a will to succeed. Your sister is watching you right now and she is proud of the steps you are taking. :flowerforyou:

    Your story is very moving. I wish you continued success and strength as you continue down your path. It has been said that sometimes you have to forgive others, not for them but for yourself so that you can put the past behind you. Keep it up and stay positive.

    Wow your story is a huge eye opener. I'm saddened by all you've been through but proud of the accomplishments that you have made and will continue to make. I logged on today cause I need a re boost and read your story. If you can make it through all the stuff you've been thru and do this journey there is no reason I can't. I'm proud of you and you've GOT this. Do it for your health, your niece, your sister who passed and most of all for YOU! You are worth this and we shouldn't let food consume us anymore. Good luck with your journey your an inspiration!!

    You can do this. It's about taking it one day at a time. If you mess up, forgive yourself and move on.

    Linking you to Ed, who is a great inspiration:

    I'm not good at giving advice & know there'll be a lot of posters to help with that. Wanted to say it's all about one day at a time.Just cutting back will do you a lot of good,then you will be walking a block or two.After that,there will be no stopping you! Wishing you a healthy way of eating. Good luck & please let us know how it goes. We care. Pat

    sometimes it just helps to hear that someone is proud of you. regardless of how you were, it seemed like your sister was proud of you. and MFP is proud of you. we all have to start somewhere and the little things do add up, don't let anyone make you feel like you should have a certain amount of progress within a certain amount of time. Live you life and learn from any mistakes. Just live and be happy and keep moving. One love.
