How Steph got her groove back!

Hello my beautiful MFP's. I'm sorry I've been gone for so long, my life has been turned up side down as of late. I left my boyfriend of 5 years 3 months ago. I'm a very strong willed person and when I make up my mind about something then thats it. We had lived together for 4 of the 5 years, I thought we would get married and have the family I always wanted. Turns out that we wanted different things in life. So as much as I loved him (and still do) I had to leave, because I deserve the future I dream of. So in 1 week I made my decision, I broke up with him, and moved out of our apartment in 2 hours with a team of my best friends. Shortly after that our dog died, I had a cancer scare, and had to have a biopsy. Don't worry, I'm cancer free. I moved into my own apartment after staying with my brother for a short time. So I am Ms. Independent at the moment! I'm very proud of that fact. :drinker: I've come to the realization that I have been in denial about being depressed... yes, I am depressed, but only time will help that. I will grow as a person from this and will get stronger.
So about my weight loss... When all of this started I couldn't eat. I lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks, now I've picked up bad eating habits again and have gained back 7 pounds. So as of today I'm taking a stand! I know I can control this part of my life right now... I only have 30 pounds to lose till my goal. I've already lost 50... I feel like focusing on me and my health with help me to get through this. With support from my friends, family, and MFP's I can do anything! love you guys and thank you for sticking with me :flowerforyou:

I'm on the right from the halloween party I attended on Saturday. I won sexiest costume! I still got it! lol
