A New Me

Ever since Erik has moved out, a sense of calmness has taken over me. I'm more positive, less stressed out and generally a lot happier (I'm sure the boyfriend has someone to do with that.)

I have felt the need for awhile to reinvent myself in some ways. 

So far, I have lost twenty pounds, cut about seven inches off my hair, joined a gym, and got a boyfriend. 

The weight loss is something that I have been struggling with for a long time, and I am finally doing something about it. It's encouraging that friends of mine are telling me that I look good and look happier. 

I didn't realize how much a toll my fucked up marriage took on my health, attitude and appearance. I am glad I finally had enough and decided to let go of it. 

It's going to be a long road with the divorce, custody and child support, but so far it's worth every second. 

I am enjoying my life for the most part, and I hope that it's making a positive impact on Ember as well.
