Hey there

In May of this year, my stepmother died in a house fire (she was the only mom I've ever known.)

Four months later, my dad, my best friend died of a heart attack at age 39.

I took to drinking whiskey every day, chasing it with soda. I didn't care about anything, I was letting myself go.

Here I am today, approximately 223 pounds at 5'4. I hate the way I look now and I used to be so skinny.

Here I begin my journey to love and take care of myself once again.

    I cannot even begin to imagine just an ounce of what you've been going through. I am so, so sorry for these huge losses in your life, dear. This breaks my heart so much. I hope you can grant yourself some grace eventually.

    *massive hugs*

    Good luck in your endeavors.
