Hello everyone!
I'm here to share my story, get support, and show support where I can. Three years ago I was engaged to be married, fulltime in grad school, and really stressed out. I was having trouble in my relationship and was stressed out in school. I found out I was expecting...only to miscarriage 12 weeks later ( a week before midterms and 2 weeks before my bday). My then fiance decided instead of working through the grief, to vacation in Germany for two weeks instead....without me. Needless to say our relationship ended, but I was still in school, working and trying to keep a smile on my face. I turned to food to get me through and found myself cooking and baking after class and staying up crying and eating until early morning. I gained 40 lbs on top of the weight I gained while pregnant.
This was a devestating time in my life, but I couldn't stay down. It wasn't easiest thing in the world, but I was able to lose ALL of the weight I gained. It took me about 6 months for the weight and longer for the emotional stuff. I still have a few pounds I want to lose to be at my ideal body weight and feel confident, but I'm also still working on myself in many way. It took me 2 years, but Im now in a relationship that I love! At times I feel bits of my old self rising again but I try my best to keep myself poised and in a positive place. I hope my story can inspire someone and I can also find the support I need to stay on track. Thank you!
No Tears, Just Cheers!
Bless your heart!
