I am two months out of a 7+ years abusive, controlling relationship. Being tormented verbally (and non-verbally) about my weight only made things worse. Having been emotionally and physically shut down for the last 2 years I finally got the courage to walk away. I am on a path to making myself the person God intended me to be and that now includes taking care of myself physically as well as emotionally. Funny, the physical part seems tougher but I'm determined to do this for MYSELF, no one else. My goal is to lose at lest 50 lbs., putting me back at a comfortable weight of 150 lbs.
