Hi!
A little about me in hopes of connecting with anyone of any age or journey that might feel a connection or relate to any of the below.
I'm 51 (almost 52) and looking to lose about 70+ pounds (going from about 275 to 190). I am a mom of 4 (1 daughter, 3 sons) and soon to be a first time Grandmom!
I went through a painful separation from 2006-2009 which ended in divorce in 2010 from a 25 year marriage to a cheating man who didn't want a fat wife. (Years of emotional and verbal abuse that I did not see until the separation.) Went through bankruptcy, lost home, business, vehicles, camper...everything...my painful was the lose of our family unit.
I went through a lot of painful times, change and growth. Eventually (after "kissing many frogs", found my prince, a great man who loves me as I am and we married in 2016. We have our growing pains as any marriage does but life is in a good place right now.
It's time to get my eating and weight under control and I would love to meet people who I can encourage and support and receive some as well.
I'd love to add you as a friend, please reach out if you feel the urge to do so, I'd love to get to know you![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
