That Was Then: I weighed over 300 pounds. I was unhappy with myself but still managed to live a semi-happy life with my boyfriend at the time. We were happy and the times we weren't, were attributed to my self-esteem and his indecision as to whether I was supposed to be someone his mother wanted him with, someone Jewish.
This Is Now: I've lost 120 lbs. Still morbidly obese according to government health standards, I'm happier, healthier, and still working at losing. I have great friends, a great job (although I'd like to make more money, I mean, who wouldn't), and I have no boyfriend although I'm fine with that. I know I'll meet him when it's meant to be.
What I didn't think I would ever do was run into my ex-boyfriend, not knowing I still harbored feelings for him the moment we locked eyes all those years later. And now that I physically look different and feel different, I'm not sure if I like this second journey life now has me on.
