Just Over Two Years OUT

I just wanted to post. I haven't posted since I went on this big bragging kick about going to rehab to finally battle some psychological issues and addiction transfers. The Davis Clinic was tremendous for me.. and pulled some strings... and did great things for me.... BUT... I got to rehab and realized my mental health issues were far worse than my addiction issues...

I learned I was a codependent mofo.... and drug addiction.. and obesity were all catalysts/tools for self harming when I felt insecure about being alone or codependent.

Battling codependency whilst in the midst of crashing your financial life into the ground and losing everyone around you.. can be a mother****** But I'm getting there. It's day by day. Step by step.

I learned to not beat myself up.. and to forgive so many things..

I started this journey at 272lbs. I'm now 165lbs.

glad you are back, Brandi & big hugs to ya. you are FAR from alone, these issues affect many if not most of us - but things can be dealt with as you say - day by day, step by step.

keep posting!

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Glad to hear you are doing well. AND, more importantly, you are gaining self-awareness. I think that's probably the hardest part of this whole big nasty journey. ((HUGS))
