Kira, WoW! you realy rock chick!!! wat an amazing inspiration you are, not only through your fantastic weight loss but all the emotions you must have been through in your precious young years. I'm so pleased for you as i read your blog i could relate so much to how low you felt with your weight & cutting yourself off from outside world & people around you i was same, i know i'm older my husband died at 37 i was 33 i'd been with him since i was 16 we got married had 2 lovely sons great marriage & he literaly went to work & dropped dead my sons were on 10 & 13 idolised him we were devastated, then not long after my mum had cancer nursed her to her very sad death which knocked us back again then recently my dad was killed in motorbike accident and months later my 21 yr old sons girlfriend was killed in car accident and i found a lumpin my breast, so i was plumeted into depression and my weight just soared i wanted to shut off from the world completely felt so alone untill last month went to confide in my doctor & hes been amazing i really do feel at last light at the end of my very dark tunnel of which i wanted to end many times if it hadnt of been for my 2 amazing sons being my inspiration giving me the will to live i could have so easily wanted to end it all through all the losses i've sadly endured over these last 10 yrs. so fingers crossed i can do it too i can fight this, no you know what i WILL fight this weight & my depression & get my life back on track like you are doing. THANKS so much for being my inspiration Kira & telling us all about yourself it really, truely does help people like myself to think well if Kira can do it so can we, Lots of Love & Big Hugs Sally xxxx
