She Re-Emerges From The Past…

Hello buddies…

It’s been an awful long time, huh??

I could make a lot of excuses. Tell you a lot of things. But it really doesnt matter…

So let’s get this out of the way…

I am sorry to have left you all, but life demanded that I do so for while…

I had a few demons to battle, and, well, for a long time, the demons were winning…

However, I am now gaining some ground, and am happy to announce most (Not ALL) of my demons have been banished and defeated…

Okay. Lets get all of this out in the open, okay? I just wouldnt be me if I didnt spill ALL my beans!!!

My husband and I have separated…After 13 years…It is temporary for now…It was a decision that was not made lightly or quickly…Its actually going well, and please know, it was my decision not his…

He is a wonderful man, and I will never say anything differently.

My weight loss has stalled to nothing and that is no ones fault but mine. No excuses…Life came first, and weight loss went to the background…

I am now ready to reclaim a little bit more of me…Now that my demons have been silenced… 

So thats why I am here…Ready to re-emerge. Reconnect…And Relose that weight. I dont feel good about myself…I want that feeling back…

I started Sunday by walking in the New Albany Classic 10K. I did well. And it kind of rejuvinated me…

So here I am kids…

I will try to not go away again…Hope you are all doing well!!!

I have missed you guys…

Take care!

    I am happy to have you back. I am sorry you and Steve have decided to part ways for now and I know your decision was not taken lightly. I hope and pray that everything is for the best, for both of you, as I know you love him deeply. And like you said, he’s a great guy…and it goes without saying that you’re a great gal! I’m thrilled that you’re back because I have missed you terribly! Hang in there kiddo, you are a trooper! Very resilient indeed and I know you will come out this chapter of your life, a better person. Congrats on completing yet another 10K, so proud of you chica!

    Dawn, welcome back for now,and could only say to you take one day at a time and redefine yourself and what you want for yourself, choices we make may not make sense to others but have alot of rhyme and reason to ourselves, my brother is going through the same thing as you but only she is going through the change of life and wants out of the marriage, and well i wish you as well as my brother and sisnlaw, peace in your hearts, and your own identity, good luck and when your ready to lose weight do it your way, kind of thought something was happening, thought it had something to do with the floods in your state, well anyway welcome back,and hope you were not effected by those floods in ohio. maddy

    Welcome back Dawn!

    You were surely missed and I have wondered how you were doing.
    Congrats on the 10K and its really cool that that has given you another boost.
    It sounds like you are making progress in your life and that must be a good feeling.

    Look forward to hearing more from you and seeing you move forward.

    Hey, you have to do what you have to do. I don’t think anyone should ever apologize for spending their time elsewhere. LIVE AND LET LIVE. That’s my motto. Either way, glad to have you back. And if the separation is something that you felt was the best decision for you….then I support you 100%…you know that!!
