This is the story of my journey back to life. I have lost myself over the past few years - I was once a fit, svelte and happy person who was totally in love with the man that I have lived with for 20+ years. I found myself in a downward cycle where I let my career take over my life and when things went badly there, they went badly everywhere. Everywhere. I have stress-eaten my way through a 100+ pound gain, become unemployed (ok, underemployed), stopped exercising and basically become a person I don't recognize and don't particularly enjoy being. Rather than give up on myself, I'm working my way back to life, albeit slowly, and back to being the person I know I am and the person I know I want to be. Enjoy the journey with me if you care to come along for the ride! :)
