Hi all, my name is Jackie and I recently lost my Partner in Life. I have gained 16 pounds over the last 4 months from drinking and binge eating all the wrong things from depression of losing my loved one. Today, I realized that none of this will bring him back!! For me to be happy with myself, I need to be doing things to make myself healthy i.e. losing weight, no drinking, no fried foods and no sodas. I am looking forward to my weight loss journey, which for me is about 83 pounds and I believe with exercise and better eating habits I can attain MY GOAL!!

Just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi to everyone!!

    I am sorry for your loss. Remember that there is no expiration date on grieving and peopld grieve differently. You took a big step in being transparent in your introduction. Change doesnt happen overnight so be patient with yourself. You got this! You can and will do this! I wish you all the best on your journey.
