The Perfect Diaster

My life was not going as I had planned, I was miserable and fat...I only had enough energy to take care of my babies and give them the life they deserved, I made the decision to leave their father after several years of abuse.  It was hard, very hard, and I cried a lot and I ate whatever I wanted and I did no exercise. I was in survival mode, living a depressed life and barely making ends meet. I was working the graveyard shift so I could have a family member sleep at my house with the kids, and would be there during the day while they were awake.....I felt like a zombie... a fat zombie... I was hovering around 200 lbs at the time, and I stayed that way for a few years.....By this time the kids were growing older and I could finally see some light at the end of the tunnel.....

    Sounds like you are a very caring person who took good care of your kids the best you could and not of yourself. Its time to take care of you now...

    That must have been tough, for lack of a better word. I've been in survival mode before, when my first husband died and I know what you mean about walking around like a zombie...a fat zombie to boot. I'm glad you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's there and it's beautiful.

    I would like to quote a line from the greatest musical of all time (Les Mis of course):

    "For the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies, even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."

    Sounds like your sun is rising;)
