Hey Tracy

I'm really glad you posted your whole story here, i don't know if you realise how inspirational you really are, i know i've told you before! This forum is an amazing support but sticking to the plan and your sheer determination to turn your life around was completely down to you and its just so great to see how far you've come and to have been able to share your journey with you.

take care xx

Good for you for taking a really bad situation and turning it into an inspirational story. You have come a really long way both physically and mentally. Good for you for sticking by your husband as well. I'm sure your support was essential to his recovery. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your story Tracy! A lot of us have had similar struggles, and it's too easy to turn to food for comfort, but you have faced down your demons, and that's like climbing to the summit of Everest. Congratulations on your great success!

Tracy this is truly inspiring to read. I know how hard you have worked to get to this point in your life. Beating an addiction is one of the hardest things to do and you've beaten two - the food and the alcohol!

Thanks for sharing. You will be an encouragment to many others and your success should be a constant reminder that you can do anything.

God Bless
