Any widows/widowers raising teens out there?

I've been a widow since March of 2011 and am now raising my two sons alone. I haven't been a good role model for them as I did quite a bit of emotional eating and isolating to deal with my husband's illness, death, the resulting grief, adjusting to our new normal and dealing with my boys as teens and children who have experienced loss.
I now want to change my lifestyle and be an inspiration for my boys. I've been overweght all my life, but this is the heaviest I've ever been. I recently lost my mom and feel a bit unsettled wihout her and my late husband to anchor me. I've been thinking about many ways to reinvent my life - from redecorating to changing careers to moving. I have also been toying with the idea of dating, but I think I would like to be what I want to attract, so I am aiming to get healthy - physically, mentally, financially and spiritually, as I am will be looking for the same. If you're in a similar boat, please drop me a note.
