Hey everyone!!!!

How is everyone...I've been a lurker for the past couple months, but the craziness that has been my life just hasn't allowed me the time to post hardly at all...I apologize! :( So much has happened....first off I'VE LOST 99LBS now....amazingly I'm wearing a size 16-18 down from a VERY TIGHT 26/28 at surgery. On Jan. 2 I will be 5 months out.  My husband (Jeff) left and got an apartment on his own on the night before Thanksgiving...things had been strained for a long time with him, he was undiagnosed bipolar and finally got a diagnosis the week before he left the house. I'm seeking a divorce and not looking back, though I've been married for nearly 17 yrs, this is the best for all involved....i'm the happiest i've been in a VERY VERY VERY long time.... i started a new job with the state and am currently in training for that position. I finish my training in feb and will be very glad to do so. I am also still doing my photography and still teaching part time online. well just wanted to update you guys on my life...thanks for all those who have been so supportive of me (you know who you are)...thanks for everything! i couldn't do this without you guys!

hugs and love

Jen

Jen, Congrats on the weight loss!  Also, congrats on making a healthy decision to get on with your life. Divorce isn't always easy (nor, always the solution) but sometimes, it is the best thing a person can do for themself. I'm glad you have found the happiness that you were missing. Sherri
