Hi! My pic was taken a couple of years ago at the height of my weight at 170. I have always struggled with weight...funny enough, post pregnancy I was at my lowest weights of around 135! After surviving breast cancer #1 in 2008 with full mastectomy and reconstruction, I ballooned up to 175. After leaving a toxic relationship in 2013 I finally got my weight down again to a reasonable 145. Then, last year 2014, came another toxic relationship...sigh... and a second diagnosis of breast cancer, a second mastectomy and reconstruction. Along with those came weight gain back up to 160. So... along with all the sadness and grief came a drinking problem. I'm in intense therapy for both and recovering...slowly. Getting control is paramount!! As I write this bio, I am on day 2. I would love to hear from you! Anyone gone through anything remotely similar? Anyone have any words of encouragement? I'm scared but I'm hopeful... Namaste
