I'm Back

My name is Mike and 3 years ago I joined this site and proceeded to lose 60 lbs. At the time I told everyone it was because of health and changing my life because my wife had walked out on me and my kids. In truth, I realize now, it was because I feared I would never have someone in my life again at the size I was. After losing the weight I meet someone and we have been together since. The problem was that she was a big woman and accepted me and never made a big deal out of my weight.
Slowly the pounds came back and with them the pain and lack of energy I had suffered in my previous life. Now I am back where I started but it’s worse because I gained all of it in my stomach and my back pain is worse than ever.
What has changed? My partner wants to lose the weight too. Since starting back in Jan I have lost 10 pounds and I am working out and eating right again. It amazed me how much having the support of a partner can help.
Together we will support each other and be the people we should be.
