Update on Brandee

I figured it was time for my periodic update.... The last time I posted, my husband and I were separating. Our divorce is almost final... we are two weeks shy of signing papers. We've worked out our ugly differences and are good friends at this point. So in my opinion, that is great. I do love him very much... and he does me, but we have moved on. Friendship is important and that is something we will always have.  In the meantime, I have fallen in love with a wonderful man who lights up my days, completes the person that I am and loves me for all that I am.  We are planning on relocating me by the end of the year. I seriously could not be happier. As for my health, I am doing great! I have had some issues with scar tissue and eating - a lot due to the stress of the separation/divorce, but nothing that can't be resolved with patience. MY doctor has been awesome! I have lost almost 240 lbs.... My 15 month anniversary will be on September 21st, and I look and feel fantastic! ..... and people do not recognize me. This past year and a half has been an amazing journey centered around change. It was very overwhelming at first, but it got me to the point I am in today where nothing else matters but spending time with the people I love and getting myself back on track.  I hope everyone is doing well! I posted a new photo today to my profile so you can all see me... My best to all of you... Brandee

WOW... 240 pounds... you should feel so proud of what you have accomplished.... I am so happy for you that you have found new love and are so happy with your new life... Congrats and WTG!!!!!

THANK YOU!!! I am very happy.... Weight loss brought about so many changes. Fighting them got me no place quickly. I have learned to embrace change as an adventure. That ability alone has brought me farther than anything I have done before. Brandee

Congrats to you and your new life. You have done so well. What a jouney and thanks for sharing it.

Thank you! My grandma used to tell me that anything worth having is worth fighting for.... health and happiness rank right up there with the love of family and friends. I feel like I am on top of my world!!
