Where Have I Been? New Company, Weight loss, and relationship news

Hello Everybody,

It has been a while since I was last on here. Where have I been? I have had many different things going on in my life.
1.) Starting my company:
 I have been busy working on my soap company Bebba's Barn on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BebbasBarnShop I absolutely love this making soap and body care products just make me absolutely happy. Each soap that I make is meant to help the skin in one way or another.

2.) Weight Loss:

Weight loss has been a struggle with me since my back injury happened 10 years ago.  It got to a point where it was hard to turn around. I found out that with a little bit of happiness in my life, I could do what I needed to do. I have been doing a strict diet, and work out plan. Remember when I say that I am fighting being overweight, at my worst I was 465 pounds. I am not there anymore. Just remember that you can do anything you want. It's all about finding that motivation, wherever it may come from. In 2013 I got the Lap-Band which I do not recommend at all. I didn't have the best experience with the lap-band from the program being discontinued 2 months after I got the procedure. To not being able to eat anything. The best thing I have done is watch my portions and exercise more, I know that is said all the time but it is actually true.  I am now done a total of 78 pounds in almost 5 months. I attribute a lot of that to giving up soda. Water really is your best friend.

3.) New Relationship:
I talked about a lot of my weight loss success came from being happy and that is all thanks to a man who came in my life and became a best friend, a person who holds me accountable, and a confidant. I trust him with all my success and he is the one who came up with my boot camp diet. Finding someone anyone who you trust and can help you with any life-changing, or any goals in your life is key. I am so lucky that we found each other. But don't place all your success on that one person you have to hold yourself accountable. Also be able to praise yourself for your accomplishments. After all the changes you are making are for you and no one else. It just helps to have a best friend along the way. Make sure that you are there for them too.
