Default Find a New Comfort!

I was here years ago, didn't keep up with all of my hard working sisters and fell away - my old account may be there still under a different name, but I'm embarrassed to look at it. I really need a fresh start. My attitude of late has really been "I don't give a damn"! My husband is ill - manageable, but knowing it will be the end of him sooner than later is still hard. I have three teenagers. Mostly good, but they are teenagers. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I've had enough of my own personal pity party and need to get my life back! I'm returning to the gym with a friend and am going to try following the weight watchers plan without actually joining. The breast cancer is a constant distraction - but i have to find a way to get over it and into some kind of shape. My cousin is haveing a HUGE wedding in the fall and I don't want to be the FatCousin!

Surgery is next week - it's early stage so I'm really hoping the follow-up treatment will be minimal.
How long ago was it for you? and what motivated you to get healthy again? Looks like you've done a wonderful job!
