I just had a chance to read ...My sister, my friend. I just had a chance to read through some of your postings and am so proud of you...grateful...and seeing my own story revealed through your words. The tears swell in my eyes, but I hold them back to write. Abandonment is a horrid thing...regardless of how it came about. I shared with my honey a few weeks ago that when my mother died (I was 2 1/2, I was abandonded. Yes, I had a father how loved me and a step mother...but I grew up feeling abandonded. Every relationship suffered because of it. Never get too close...because he too will eventually leave me. And when the people I loved started to daie, well, there you go...proof of my theory.<br />Nevertheless,I was always "thicke" and had bouts with my weight, but my swelled uterous from fibroids and the medication just added to the problem. Not to mention the emotional stress from a chaotic marriage (outside of the good times) that damn near killed me. (Jackie is evil...that's all I can say.) Anyway, this last surge of weight gain pushed me from 145 to 170 to 200 to 230...in ten years. I dropped 30 or 40 back in 2005, then put it right back on. Now, I'm working towards that "life change" you spoke of. It's not about the losing weight, it about gaining my life. So I appreciate this blog. I'm not so good at journaling, and not so good with keeping up to my blogs, but I'm going to work on it. This is an encouragement. thank you.<br />ps. the love of my life (you know who that is, but I dom't want to post his name)still loves me even though I've gained so much weight. But the incentive is that something great will happen when I reach the goal of size 14/16. It's motivation, but the truth is, it's not about him...it's about me. So, I'll check in again to see your postings...and I'm going to get back to writing one of my book projects... "Total Make Over." Love you. God bless. ShellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
