If you don't know me, allow me to tell you a little bit about myself.
Who I was before July 23, 2012:
I was one half of a dynamic duo. I was girlfriend to the best boyfriend ever. I was, contrary to what he always said, the lucky one to have found him. I was happy. I was also very overweight and so was he. At my highest weight I was 353 pounds. I was anxious about sitting in certain chairs and wondering if they would hold me or not. I was uncomfortable in most movie theatres because the seats were too small. I was outgrowing most of my size 32 jeans. I was ambivalent about my weight because I had pretty much given up on being able to lose weight and actually keep it off ever again.
July 23, 2012:
On this day my sweet and wonderful boyfriend passed away suddenly; leaving his mark on me and changing my life forever. He was 47.
Who I am today:
I am 38 years old. I am a caterer, a silverware artist, a small-time silly sculptor, a graduate student, and a substitute teacher. I like to walk and I just completed my first 5K. I love water aerobics and am looking forward to the weight loss challenge at my local YMCA. I have a fitbit which I am semi-obsessed with (which coincides with my semi-obsession with earndit.com). I also have a torn meniscus in my knee which I am looking forward to getting fixed once I lose some more weight. I eat a moderately healthy diet which I track religiously on My Fitness Pal. It's low on red meat and fried foods, and high in turkey burgers! I am working on happy again.

Oh goodness.. I am so very, very sorry for your loss! How heartbreaking. I know he must be so proud of you though for working so hard though!
