in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone!! I am a newly divorced single mom that's trying to have a life of my own. I've been on MFP for almost a month trying to eat healthy and be happy. I lost weight ( I was 250 pounds and got down to 220) when I first filed for divorce because I was depressed about the whole situation. I was trying take care of everything myself and make sure my daughter was healthy and happy as well. In the process of that I lost my job, place and car and had to move back in with my soon-to-be ex-husband. Needless to say to weight was put back on. I am now 240 and I'm trying to reach my goal weight of 150. I Know that it will take sometime. I don't know if there is any one in the same situation as me however I would love all the motivation from anyone I can get. I live in Arizona and I have no family or friends here. I just want to get back on my feet and feel good about myself while doing so.

    You can send me an invite if you like, so can anyone else!

    Going through that is tough, I had to go through it myself and I know how it feels, but you can get through it and make your life better!

    Hi there,
    Sorry to read about the difficult life challenges. I went through something similar ages ago and currently remarried (9 happy years), and 170lbs down from my highest weight ( natural weightloss, kept it off for 13 years). You will find your happy place again I'm certain of that. Add me if you need a supportive sister from a different mister...lol.:ohwell:
