I finally did it!!

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a while, but I have been reading everyone elses posts and you all are doing great. I wish I could say the same. My eating has been out of control lately. I have been eating everything bad and lots of it. Things at home have been really bad and I have fallen back into old habits. Well, this morning I have finally taken control of my life again. I told my husband I want a divorce. I just can't take being this miserable any longer. Unfotunately, we can't afford 2 places to live right now, but we will figure out something. As stressed out as I am about what will happen, I feel a big relief. It's like a weight has been lifted and I can start to move on with my life. The worst part is the kids. This is going to be so hard on them, but I really think eventually it will be for the better. As of today I am not eating anything bad anymore. Thank god I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost anything in the last month. Wish me luck everyone. I am going to need it. Anybody know any nice single guys? . Melissa

I'm glad your getting your eating back on track. Sometimes good comes out of bad. You sound much happier now. Hopefully your children will be able to understand. With lots of love and care from you and your husband they will adjust. Hugs Donna 338/196 -142

Thanks Donna. Melissa

I'm very happy for you, Melissa! It's very important to take control of your life. Stay prayerful through this and you'll find strength you never knew existed! I understand that feeling of relief. It's your body telling you that you're doing the right thing. Hang in there!! Be strong and stay focused!! Wishing you all of the best!!! ~Ashley

Thanks Ashley. I hope I am doing the right thing. Melissa

I am glad to hear that you are taking control! You took the first major step when you had the surgery. I am happy to hear you are not sitting back and letting life happen to you. I know all about starting over I am watching my brother do it now. I have a single brother who moved out here from California. He took his 13 year old daughter and moved out here to New Jersey to be closer to family. And to try to get his life back on track after a long relationship. Now he works two full time jobs 6 days a week. He goes in at 3 pm and gets off at 8 am the next morning. He sleeps in the morning and starts all over again, taking one day off to spend with his daughter. My mother and I take turns keeping her while he works. They are living with me for the summer so he can save up some money to get a nice place for them to live. He left EVERYTHING in California. Just got on a plane and started over. Sometimes you have to take a leap no matter how scary in order to get back on track and to make things better. I will pray for you and you are in my thoughts daily! your sister in WLS Chandi 305/199/?

Thanks Chandi. I am so scared about everything. I don't know what I am going to do. I have 3 kids, no money, no job and no place to live. I hope everything will eventually work out. Melissa

Melissa, I did the same thing. You'd be surprised at what you can accomplish and do when you have to. Also, the kids are a great motivation. Hang in there - I don't know any single guys - but your beautiful so I'm sure they will find you!! Candy 266/168/1?? -98 *2 pounds to century club!* **fit into a size 8 dress!!**
