Still fighting......

Thank you so much for your wonderful reply Leonie. I go to a naturopath and he is helping me get back on track. I just feel out of control still - my body isn't what it used to be!! Losing the weight was one of the best things I did as it gave me back my confidence. I still have more to lose but I have enough on my plate at the moment!

I have had a couple of great counsellors and they have helped me to see what my husband was doing to me psychologically - I was a real mess! I am glad I moved to Queensland and started again as he would still be controlling me I think!

I lost the weight by buying myself a Wii fit! I didn't want to go out in public or to a gym, so this was a great alternative. I am a competitive person and for me it was great as I was trying to better myself all the time. Since moving I have struggled to get the motivation back though - I think it has all been too much for me. I am really excited about my new life, but I have days where I still grieve how things turned out. I don't miss my husband at all, but I did think I was married for life.

I would love to keep in touch Leonie.

THanks for your support,

Mel xx
