Dodger....I feel ya man
I'm so happy for you that you found love
The scales falling from your eyes is a spot on analogy of what it's like when you start see things for how they really are ......weight, mental state, ect.
Focus on being happy everyday, focus on your weight loss everyday..... just one day at a time. I'm so excited for you to lose weight and get out of your depression.
You should have a great couple of months coming up with getting your son for the summer. How old is he? Do y'all have any special trips planned? What are you doing for work now?
