Default Seeing my ex husband today

What a red letter day for me today. My son had surgery and did absolutely great. I had to spend the day with my ex which was not so great but what made it tolerable is that I made sure to dress my best to show off my 60 lbs lost the best I could. He was verbally abusive during our marriage and at one point today I got the "F - you" that I heard on a daily basis during our marriage. My reply today? A simple "you wish." He called me fat all the time while we were married.....

I'm glad your son's surgery went great Bonus for being able to showoff your weightloss to your ex. Sounds like it's a good thing you got rid of him, too

Congrats on your loss - both the weight and the ex - sounds like you're doing fabulously without both -how great is that!

So glad that your son came through the surgery and is doing well - what a blessing!

Keep up the good work - you're well on your way to achieving your goal and we'll all be here to cheer you on!

It sounds like you made the right decision when you made him your ex

Wonderful news about your son's surgery, it is such a worry while it's going on.

You go girl, 60 pounds down is amazing!
