    I'm so very sorry to hear of the loss of your partner - even in death he carried on 'giving' with that much needed wake-up call to find your path to better health. I know grief affects us all in different ways but I really admire your ability to change to a healthy regime during what must be a really difficult period. I lost my Mum 3 years ago and thought I could comfort eat my way out of the sadness I was feeling. You don't ever get over losing a loved one but over time you do get better at 'managing' the emotion and accepting the loss. I decided this year that the thing that would make my Mum happiest would've been for me to live as full and happy a life as possible and the energy and confidence losing a bit of weight gives you is just phenomenal and you wonder what took you so long to make the change! Thank you for sharing your moving story :)

    Thank you for sharing your story & am very sad for your loss :(

    I recently had my gallbladder taken out & it has opened to my eyes to my health & broader thinking. I always thought I was healthy as a horse except for being over weight. Now I am recovering & soon to be back onto getting down to where I want to be heading in the right direction .....

    Congrats on your amazing journey of becoming the true person you were meant to be! :)

    Thank you. I'm sad to hear about your partner passing, but I'm so happy to hear you have a beautiful new life that is full of meaning.

    I recently had breast cancer and I experienced some mental health and addiction problems during and after my cancer treatment. I have really had my eyes opened up to how precious life is, and I've begun to treat my body with care and appreciation as a result.

    I enjoy hearing other people's stories learning positive lessons from hardships. Thank you for sharing yours with me. Take care of yourself :smile:

    I held my breath while I read this post. Wow! Thanks for the uplifting story. I am sorry for the loss you are living with but if it got you to change your life and post it for others than something good came from losing your partner. I have been somewhat concerned about losing at 54 yearso f age. You have provided me with an example that someone even older than I can do it. Thanks again. Hugs for your sorrow. :flowerforyou:
