Well, a lot has changed in the 6 months that I've been gone.
A lot of you know about my struggles with the American visa process and they have not gotten any better. I'm currently in Canada awaiting the return of my passport with my visa so I can return home to my husband and puppy. In July I went for my visa interview where I was denied because I was missing a financial document that I was not informed I needed. While I was in Canada waiting to hear back from the consulate, my husband informed me he wanted a divorce. It was 2 weeks of hell so I decided I needed to go back to Kentucky to save my marriage. I did so and 3 weeks later I received a letter from the consulate saying they needed me to send them my passport so they could issue the visa; I was approved! By the time my husband and I had reconciled and I left for Canada again on September 7th. I promptly sent them my passport and I am now back in the waiting game. I've been here for 3 weeks and counting.
So through all the stress, I once again turned to food. I gained back 20 of the 35 lbs I lost in the beginning of the year and 12 days ago I finally decided enough is enough. I started dieting again. I did the 17 day diet again and lost 9 lbs in 8 days. I'm on day 13 and haven't lost any weight since but I'm hoping it's showing in inches.
I can't tell you enough how much I've missed the forum! It was a great inspiration for me and I guess I let myself forget that I needed you guys! So I'm back and hopefully will be posting some success. For now, here are my new before photos.
Starting Weight: 260lbs
