Way off topic! I am about to lose 300 pounds!

Post by Jaylee » Thu May 13, 2010 9:17 pm

For anyone who has followed my saga- the abusive husband, leaving him in August, chipping away at my temporary blindness medical bills, not to mention the miniscule payments on the BiPap machine...

I finally scrimped and saved enough to file for divorce! I am filing on Wednesday! That is the beginning of losing 300 pounds of a man who is not worthy of me

However, I have also lost some weight as I've been exercising and I can't wait to see how much I have taken off at my next doctor's appointment

Anyway, for a total update: I have made a huge dent in the medical bills, I almost own the 4 MRIs I had in July! And I am going back to school so that I can keep my teaching license active. Plus I am going to start looking for teaching positions out of state that offer better medical benefits and better salary.

Things are officially looking up for me!

Once I get the medical bills paid off, I shoud be able to make big payments to the DME, and therefore, own my machine outright

That sounds like a really good weight loss. Great going. Your stress levels should drop & hopefully greatly improve your life and sleeping.

You should write a book named, "How to lose 300 pounds and gain a life". Good luck.

Great to hear stories of people taking charge of their lives. All the best wishes for you!
