I've not followed your saga but do know that sometimes, drastic issues require drastic measures.

Losing weight and going back to school are always good goals to have.

I spent about half my life in school and still have a desire to go back some day when I can afford to.

Best of luck and success for your future.

Wetlizard, congratulations on your weight loss! You must feel so much better. I lost 110 pounds once myself, so I know what that's like. And losing the bad boyfriend too. You go!!!

Jaylee,

Everything in your post sounds like the voice of a winner. Congratulations to you. The momentum will only build and someday you will look back on the bad times as though they were from another life. All the best!

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

He actually lost his job when he went to jail and he has been out of work ever since. So I am out of luck that way But my freedom is worth more to me than his money anyhow, and I am so happy to have that!

Congrats Wetlizard! That is awesome!

And thank you everyone for your encouraging words and support!

Yes it is unfortunate that my apnea diagnosis happened right after I left my husband So my first posts were very sad, and everyone probably thought I was the weird chick who cried all the time

But now I am finally able to get back to my true self. Which can be equally annoying, just a warning
