Life Is Wonderful!

Well what is there to say other than life is wonderful. I am still loving parenting the boys alone. Now that Dawson is getting a little older I am getting more free time. Minimal contact with the ex has been fabulous. While it's not perfect I am absolutely in love with my little basement suite. I have great friends (old and new) and great family. It should be criminal to feel this happy.

I am in love with Emerson Drive's new song but I will share an older one of their that I love. Yay for Alberta boys!

My Weight Loss Journey: March Pictures

Here are some new pictures of me proudly showing off my weight loss. Please excuse the poor photo quality and clutter. Still unpacking here and well Brandon has alot of toys LOL.

Wearing my old pants that fit me pre-pregnancy and post-partum. Where my hand is away from my body I am actually holding the waist of the pants out, incase you can't tell.


Wearing my 32 inch waist goal jeans.

Happy Happy Happy

I am at such a great place in my life right now. I can truly say I am happier than I have been in years and that is not just the anti-depressants talking. I can finally say I am at the point where I no longer love my husband at all. One would have thought with all he put me through that not loving him would be easy but that for me was a big hurdle to cross. With the love gone I can truly say should he try to weasel his way back into my life I will be strong enough to say no. That is a relief. Parenting my boys alone is so easy, who knew it would be so good without criticism. I am getting better at standing up to my husbands abusive behavior and no longer letting it effect me the way it once did.

Now that I have reconnected with my Father we have become quite close and I can honestly say he has been my biggest cheerleader. We talk several times a day. Him without addictions is very refreshing, he is not the person I knew growing up.

My next big hurdle will be the divorce. Whether we go amicably through mediation or to court remains to be seen. Whatever happens I am willing to fight for my rights.

I feel beautiful, free, and full of hope. I think I will soon be able to date again and I think that is a huge step. However I will pay more attention to red flags in future relationships. Now that I have found myself I don't want to be lost again.

My Weight Loss Journey

Although I still mourn the death of my marriage since the separation I have seen healthy changes in my self. I no longer need to self medicate or fill voids with food. That combined with breastfeeding has brought on significant weight loss for me. Pre-pregnancy I had reached an all time high of size 20, now I am down to about a 14-16. My goal size would be a 10 but I would be happy with a size 12.

New Address

Yes I have a new blog address yet again. My husband has been stalking me online. He reads every single comment here and than attacks me about it. I can't understand why if he has moved on he needs to stalk me.

More To Me Than You

My soul and heart are still beautiful and strong. I may be bruised but I will never be broken
