I'm experiencing happiness, joy, and inner peace again... it is SO refreshing! I no longer have to consume my thoughts with concerns about HIM.. how he's treating me, what he's doing, or how he's reacting.

This has been a LONG time coming. Since the day we were married. I wanted to leave him only days before our wedding. He fought with me on our wedding day, and I knew I was in trouble. He fought with me on our honeymoon too, and we only had sex once the entire honeymoon! I cannot believe I gave him as many chances as I did, but I suppose I needed to go through the process of breaking up and getting back together a few times in order to make it truly stick and to be able to wash my hands completely of him.

And I feel GOOD! I've now lost 20 pounds!!!! I am feeling great and much more like my old self again! My favorite clothes fit me again. I can stand to look at myself in the mirror, and I like what I see now. When I was heavy, I avoided mirrors, and I would cringe when seeing my image. And now I smile.

I feel lighter, happier and just better all around. No more drama, no more negativity, no more trauma.

This is how I am supposed to feel. And I am SO grateful.

Thank you all for helping me through so much turmoil and pain. I am immensely grateful for all the help and support I've received through this most tumultuous and confusing experience.
