My New Journey

Well hello! I didn't think this was too huge of a deal, but the time frame in which I have lost all this weight is slightly staggaring. At the end of January my husband told me he wanted a divorce. Our entire marriage was a toxic wasteland filled with booze and neglect, and when I finally weighed myself on Feb. 7th, 2013, I weighed in at 260 lbs.
I was shocked, and humiliated. I had finally seen what the years of being unhappy had done to me, and I was not going to let this continue. I started eating right and working out as of Feb. 16th, and here I am on March 10th having lost 20lbs. I am just amazed at the progress I have made in less than a month. Thank you to all my friends here that have encouraged me with a simple "good job!" and have made this journey one that I am thankful to be on.
