I'm a 47 year old widow my weight was originally 280 pounds I put on a lot of weight due to stress. Being in a unhappy marriage, then I lost my father in June 2010, my mother in June 2011. And after I decided to start working on myself and get back healthy I separated from my husband after being together for 20 years and married for 15 years. He became ill and in November of 2011 he passed. A lot of stress in a short period of time. After we separated, I met an Awesome Man we are still together and in love not rushing anything. Taking everything one day at a time. He supports me walks with me encourages me, in all my endeavors. With my children you'd swear he was their biologically father. He goes with us to the cemetery so they can visit their dad. The weight loss was going great, until I didn't have the time to come home and cook proper meals during cheer season, and me being a coach. It was off from work getting the girls and off to cheer practice. This is what my children like and I support all that they do. So now that the season is over time to get back to the grind. I've never been a skinny girl, growing always a little thick. Just not as big as I had gotten. So I'm back and getting in back to the routine and eating healthy and my exercising.
