Husbands Do Leave.............

carmella i'm so sorry to hear of your pain. i personally have never been married, or even seriously involved with anyone, so i won't try to offer advice, or even pretend to understand what you're going through. but i can tell you i'm sorry, and i'll be keeping you in my thoughts. and i'm not at all tired of hearing about your successful weight loss! keep telling us...we want to know! deb

Carmella, Congratulations on your terrific weight loss! I wish I'd done as well. But, then, I probably haven't eaten as strict as you have. I don't drink pop though! I'm very proud of you! I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I know this doesn't really help, but, he doesn't sound too mentally healthy to say what he has said to you. I am so sorry you have to go through this loss. It takes so long to get over this stuff. Just keep taking care of yourself. Exercise as much as possible so that you can work out some of your emotions. Big Hugs, and if you ever need to talk, let me know and I'll call you. Lori 384/237/199

Carmella, I truely believe things happen for a reason. This being said, I know it can't be easy. I don't know why people seem to have such a hard time with other people having personal success. Your spouse should be happy for you and your realationship because you are healthier. I looked at your profile and you have done a teriffic job! I wish you luck in your new life! Leeanne

Carmella, consider it done ... prayers and thoughts coming your way. Take things one step at a time, don't anticipate down the road, just live the moment, ok? You can't worry about something that hasn't happened yet, and what's done is already done and can't be undone. Your focus has to be on yourself right now. As for strength, I think you underrate yourself. You were brave enough to go through GBS, and that makes you pretty darned strong. I hesitate to criticize your husband, but it seems he has some growing up to be doing (no matter how old he is) and is selfish. Actions like his usually come home to roost, and he'll probably be regretting his actions one day soon. Go forward, Carmella ... don't waste time looking back!!!
