So some of you will recognize me from previous posts/threads. I have been away since late July and I have yet to post publicly about this.
Long story short, fiance broke off wedding 30 days prior (actually the day I had my last dress fitting) after 11 years together. Tried counseling etc, but I ended up going to my destination wedding in Maui by myself to meet with family that couldn't get refunds etc.
During the stressful, will he or won't he call off the wedding my IBS kicked in hard and I had 2 weeks of straight diarrhea and dropped under 100 lbs.
I went anyway, took my wedding photos with my dog during a beach session (since photographer wouldn't budge on a refund) and tried to stay busy and make the best of it.
Came back, fiance had moved out and I had to downsize to a smaller apartment and move by myself. I did a lot of traveling and tried to stay active.
In October I finally learned he had been having an affair with his best friends wife for a year and a half while I planned our wedding. He now lives with her 3 blocks away in his friends house (gross!).
Fast forward to present, I made some new friends, have a busy social schedule, started dating again and feel better. However, the pounds have crept back since the holidays (thanks to parents comfort food) and now I think I might need to be accountable again.
I haven't been brave enough to step on the scale yet, but I need to soon.
It is good to see the regulars again, and I hope to re-join you soon.
