I wish I was there in person to hug you right now. I have lost too much to talk about on the journey to wholeness. I have buried too many loved ones. Today I am feeling the loss more acutely than usual. Know that you are never alone. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us.

Wow, thanks for sharing your story. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me. You are such a strong woman and you deserve a medal for getting through that! Congratulations on your weight loss and may your husband rest in peace.

That is very inspiring indeed. I am reminded of a song lyric, something along the lines of: "It is never to late to start living, to go out and have some fun". While your husband's passing is a sad event, I am sure he is proudly looking on as you continue on your journey to a better, healthier life. He left you a lasting gift of inspiring you to continue on a healthier route in your own life and what a wonderful gift that is. Wishing you continued success. Be well.

So sorry for the loss of your husband, but I am sure he is with you and immensely proud of you for your achievement and dedication. You are an amazing example to all, not just for weight loss but for pushing on when life hands you blow after blow. You are an inspiration and should be so VERY proud of yourself. I do not comment normally on people's success stories, I just nosy at them and get inspired by them, but yours is a very different story and I am honoured that you chose to share it with us all. Wishing you all the success as you continue on this journey and all the best in your life.

Incredible and inspiring story. I just forwarded your post to a friend, who is trying to lose weight. Always remember that you're never battling your demons alone. When you win, you're an inspiration to others, and you make the entire world a better place.
