I'm just looking for someone, anyone, to brag a little to.

A little background here; 5(ish) years ago, I was living in a homeless shelter and addicted to a variety of drugs, with heroin/opiates being my main focus. I was lucky, there was a VA counselor at the shelter who talked to me and got me some much needed help. I went through a 12 week drug program, qualified for a small pension, and received housing assistance.

Now, if I'm being honest, the drug program didn't really take, at least not right away. I ended up overdosing twice during my first year in my new home. One of them literally killed me, temporarily. No heartbeat, not breathing. The paramedic said he really thought they weren't going to be able to bring me back. This went on for almost 2 years, but I did finally manage to quit(it's been nearly 3 years.)
A year after quitting, I decided to finally tackle a weight problem that I knew was waaayyyy out of control. I hadn't been on a scale since I became too heavy for the one at the grocery store. I knew it was bad, but even I was shocked when, upon finally going to a doctor, I found out that I'd shrunk nearly 2 inches and weighed a whopping 410.5 pounds. I dunno why, but I found that half pound tacked onto the end there particularly irritating. I would say something like, "I can't believe I weigh 410 pounds!" and I little voice in my head would chime in, "And a half!!"

It was infuriating. That day(Dec 28, 2016) I cleaned out my fridge and haven't looked back since. As of yesterday morning, I'd lost 120 pounds. It took me a while to figure out exactly what I was doing, but I certainly couldn't have done it without this app.
