    I read your story, and WOW. What an amazing transformation even after so much heartbreak. I pray that your depression is getting better. I know first hand how hard it can be to pull yourself out and ask for help. Hopefully you will find (or have already found) new beginnings. :smile:

    You have inspired me more then I could ever explain! You have done amazing and look it too. Ive almost given up just to much stress in my life (father died, mom had stroke, and a divorce) and you have proven to me it can be done. Thank you thank you for sharing your story!

    I've just read your story and you must be so thankful to your sister, I hope you have told her what she did for you. Having said that, she must be so happy to see your transformation, it would have been too much to cope with the loss of your Mum and seeing you in such a terrible way all at the same time. You have done an incredible job transforming yourself physically, do you feel happier inside? You have a lovely smile, (sorry, bit of profile creeping going on there), I hope you realise you have a lot to offer after all the terrible things you have been through, I wish you all the happiness you deserve for the future

    You look great. I have read your orginal post and am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Grandmother (my second Mom) to Alzheimers and the only comfort I had was knowing that she would rather be in heaven then be in the condition she was in.

    Continue to become the best self you can be. This is the best way to honor your Mother, tell your ex she's missing out and most importantly learn to love yourself.

    Congrats again, you look amazing!

    Somewhat, it's been a rocky few years. I will say that I feel a lot better than I did. Running is now somewhat of an escape for me. I hid most of this from my family except for my sister.

    Much respect for your hard work and determination to get up and try again when life back slaps you. If there's awareness after death your Mom is now back to who she was at her best, and she's busting with pride. You've more than earned every good thing you get my friend. :flowerforyou:

    Thank you for sharing your story, and sorry for your losses. Sometimes we just need someone to reach out a hand and help us back up and your sister was there to do that, but the rest is all your own work. I hope you give yourself credit for what you have and will achieve, well done :flowerforyou:
