    Had one child and was about a year from getting pregnant with my second. I was with a verbally, emotionally and physically abusive man who hit me at least once a week. I left all that behind and I'm a hell of a lot stronger for it.

    Was 31 and had a 3 year old son. I was also just married to my now ex-husband. I weighed probably about 155 (same as now) but thought I should go on a diet, so I was working on losing weight then, too. The issue was I worked with fast food and it was hard to resist. I did manage to lose about 15 pounds through riding my bicycle and eating somewhat less. I had a better metabolism than I do now, for sure.

    ...was homeless and living from car to car or couch to couch. I had a college degree and nothing to show for it so my addiction kicked into 5th gear and I started abusing xanax, ambien and cocaine

    Was about to break up with my high school boyfriend and then proceed to make a series of poor choices that would inevitably make the person that I am today - however bad or good that person is.

    Also, my father was about 3 months away from catching a "flu" that wouldn't go away. He would go to the ER the following March when my mother found him unconscious in the bathroom floor and through an incidental finding on a CBC discover that he had Leukemia. August 1, 2013 will be the 10 year anniversary of his death.

    However, I know there are no mistakes. There are no accidents. Today I am married to a wonderful man and we have a beautiful son, a lovely home, a great career, and I lay my head down every night feeling happy and loved. I wouldn't have met my husband if my ex hadn't broken my heart and I had to move in with my mother where I had nothing to do but screw around online all day and put a personal up on Yahoo. I wouldn't have dated that ex if I hadn't been so depressed about my father dying. I wouldn't have been so depressed and would have been able to mourn him properly if I hadn't been in an emotionally taxing relationship already with a person who dumped me on the day of my father's funeral. I wouldn't have been in that relationship if I hadn't felt the need to "one up" the aforementioned high school boy. And I wouldn't have had so many boyfriends if my father and I had a better relationship to begin with.

    Almost exactly ten years ago, I was at a county fair, trying a deep fried Oreo cookie and hating it. My body was a little plump; but that was because I was pregnant! Funny thing is, my daughter is probably the only nine-year-old I know who doesn't like Oreo cookies! :laugh:

    I was 24 and still in the 300's. I was researching weight loss surgery options and still trying every diet/exercise program in the book while my health continued to spiral downhill. I was still married to my ex-husband and still struggling with fertility issues. I definitely wouldn't want to go back in time to that place in my life.
