Many things have changed for me during my weight loss journey. As I have shed the fat and weight, I have gained self-confidence and realized that I possess an amazing inner strength, which has provided a much needed foundation of self-worth during the demise of my marriage.

Two years ago, I would have been afraid at the thought of being on my own and without my husband. I realize now, that I used our relationship as a crutch--much like my weight--to keep me from really living life. I am so grateful that my ex-husband had the courage to take the first step to end our marriage and allow both of us to begin our new lives. I am also grateful that both of us loved each other enough, as friends, to really want the best for each other and take the individual steps needed to pursue a life worth living.

My life has changed in so many ways over the past 22 months. I am so grateful that I had the DS and that I am living life free.
