2008 was a magic year for me coming out of the worst time in my life.  I had divorced after a 13 year long unhealthy marriage.  I spent a year alone helping myself and my three sons heal.  January my father died and I guess that with that I suddenly had an angel looking out for me.  The day after we buried my dad I had a dinner for my work.  I as obligated to attend.  Before dad died I had asked my new friend to take me.  I had only seen him once before for about 10 minutes then talked to him on the phone several times over a months time.  Reluctently I went anyway.  He was amazingly wonderful.  He was my prince in shinning armor.  The date went better then anyone could have imagen.  It was like we had been together for years.  From January to July we got Married!!! 

With all that said, getting all this extra weight off and living a healthier life is a top priority.  My husband and I have 5 children together and 4 live with us full time.  With four active boys and a husband like mine they deserve me to be at my best and I want to be strong and ready to get into anything with my fella's want to.  My life before this year was no kinda life and now I want it all.  I feel like a butterfly coming out of her cocoon.  This fat reminds me of the ugly life I had before.  I want a fresh start feeling good and being proud.
