I’m sitting here tonight just thinking… a year ago I’d be sitting amid tastykake and candy bar wrappers and the ruins of another diet, feeling completely lost. Feeling like a total failure, again. That was such a tiring process. Now? Now… well… I’m listening to slow music and looking forward to a long awaited visit with my husband and wondering if he’ll even recognize me after I’ve lost nearly 100lbs since he last saw me. I’ve gone from a tight size 26/28 and sometimes 30 to a size 16 in 6 months. I wish I could be smaller before I see him! But I can’t deny that I’ve come quite a distance in a short amount of time, and I’m happy with my progess so far– though I do tend to get frustrated from time to time.

i hope the reunion is as magical as you’ve imagined. i’m sure he loved you just as you were and will love you even more knowing how much hard work you’ve put into it all. you’re an inspiration to strangers, i know you’ll be even more to him. enjoy!

I am sorry for your situation and hope seeing your husband will help you both! Please email anytime you need to chat or vent =)
