Hi all,
I'm back! There is opportunity in crisis, don't remember who said that and don't care to google it A week after my husband told me I was too overweight to be attractive to him and I started lowcarb, it was "too little, too late." So I'm getting divorced and rooming with my parents. At age 39, wow. I think that my soon to be ex husband had a lot to do with my roller coasting over the years. Fact of the matter is, he didn't care when I was in good shape or bad. Didn't care about me. I'm not saying this for self-pity, just stating a fact of what *used to be* my life. Now I am ready to start a new one, and I want my WOE and my body to reflect that. It's a little hard living with a mother who is a vegetarian, but I'll get by So, if you check my journal, you'll see that I've been here before, time after time - but this time, without my less-than-DH undermining my self esteem - I am going to stick. I know the rules, I'm reading the books and I'm on my way to a new, fabulous exterior to go with a new fabulous outlook on life!

Welcome back. Sounds life you have a lot going on right now but sometimes it's good to have other things to focus on instead of the bad stuff. Wishing you good luck with everything.

May this be a path to a lot of new things!

PS. Does anyone know if there's there a way to change your username?

Welcome back and best of luck to you...

Best of luck.

Welcome back. I just came back today too. It will be a challenge to live in the same kitchen with a vegetarian! Just agree to disagree! Your life will be back on track before you know it. And if you ever join a dating club, specify "must be a carnivore and know how to grill!" LOL Good luck to you.

Welcome back! I also just started back last week! Doing great this time around not doing as bad with cravings this time. Turned down sweets after sweets and its not bothering me. I think this time I know its possible and I am not happy with the way I look at all and only I can do something about it. And I want to be happy with me! I have been where you are and my ex did the exact same thing. You can do this!

Do it to spite him!! Lose the weight, get stunning and then parade it in front of him!!!! Meanwhile, you'll have self esteem, looks and new admirers - GO GIRL!!

LOL!

Thank you! I laughed but I'm already thinking about going to court in February and how I want to look better by then. I told him he was making the biggest misake of his life...I want him to KNOW it!!!

Look at it this way, you didn't lose a husband, you lost 180 pounds (or so) without any dieting.
Changes like this can ultimately be very good.

Thank you, Nancy

Hi there, I really admire you for doing what you're doing. You have so many great years before you, god willing, and so much to look forward to! I really wish I'd persisted with low carb in my thirties instead of waiting till now.
Stick with it and enjoy your new life!!!
