I'm back! I missed you all!

Those that recognize the avatar will remember me, I had to change my username because my (soon to be ex) was stalking out what I was putting on here and everywhere else I went on the computer! Those that don't know me, I had the DS in Aug of 2008!  Did wonderful with it!!! 

I'm in the middle of a divorce right now!  I left my husband in June (when I signed off here for awhile).   Lived with my parents for about 2 1/2 months until my new house was ready!  I'm down here now!  All moved in and settled down!  Its tough with my son, he will be 10 next week!  I have him one week, then he's with his father one week.  The week that he is gone gets pretty lonely!!  But I'll do ok!  Anything is better than what I was in before!!!  Untrusting, verbally abusive relationship!!

Anyway!  My weight is WAY down!!!  I'm actually a bit too low for even my liking!  I'm at 122 lbs, size 2!  I had to go out about a month or so ago and get new pants, because all my pants looked sloppy and baggy!!!!  I'm way behind on my blood work.  I haven't been taking care of myself as I should be!  I have to start being accountable to myself and get back on track!!!  I need to watch what I eat better, well (let me rephrase that) Eat period!!!!  When my son is here, I make good dinners, when he isn't I tend to not think of eating and don't! Good thing is, I don't eat the "junk" food any more!  I don't buy it!  So what I do eat is usually something that is good for you!   I've got to get back on track with my vitamins! 

I'm going to go back through and catch up on some posts and see how everyone is doing!!!  And meet some of the people that are new since I've been gone!! 

On a side note.....My sister is going for the RNY, hopefully in March!!!  She gets insurance on the first of Dec.  Then she can start the program with the Dr!!  She found OH on her own, I told her to come over here and introduce herself to this board!!  I'm very happy for her, she has wanted this for a LONG time!!!  Talking almost 10 yrs!!  When she first started, she was declined because of BMI (no co-morbids).  Then it was a matter years later of not having insurance!  Now she qualifies with BMI and her insurance is going to cover it!!!!  I'll keep you all posted!!

Hey there, good to see you back. If you need anything just send me a PM. Sorry you've gone through so much. It's time to rebuild, babeee!

Thank you!  You're right Gina!!  I'm in the process of rebuilding my life & my health!!!

I remember that avatar! Glad to hear you are on the mend... welcome back!!

Meg

Thanks Meg!  It feels good to come back here!!

I remember you! But I forgot your old user name.

Hi Mac!!  It was Jackie W!!!  But ex was trying to pull that I had mental issues that pertained to my surgery!!  I didn't want him to beable to search me out on here.  I logged off, so he couldn't log on to me with my computer.  I'll admit, I've got body image issues.....but that has/had NOTHING to do with what was going on between us!! 

Welcome back.  sounds like you are doing great and making a new life for you and your son.  hurray for getting healthy, even when it means getting rid of more than weight.

Thank you Price!!  Yeah, got rid of about 250 lbs over night!!!! 

Glad to see you!!   I know you were having it rough and it does sound like things are getting better.  My DD is divorced and it was so hard at the beginning to be alone when the girls are with their dad but she actually looks forward to it now.   She started reading again and goes on dates with herself  (she says she's a pretty good date...lol)   and she is sooooooo much happier!  No more fighting, fear, and tears.  It's better for her girls too because now they don't have to live in the fighting either.

Stick with us and get those vitamins and proteins back on track.  You need to stay healthy and happy!!
