Living healthier and happier

Okay so let me tell you all that weight loss is something I've been battling for quite some time. I have always wanted to be thinner and always tried, but I couldn't keep going with it. I guess I didn't want it as bad as I thought. My life had been a huge mess in 2011 I was going through a sexual assault trial I developed PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and depression I let myself sit around until I started eating my feelings and stress eating. I started therapy for depression and anxiety and it helped a lot. Still ate a lot as well I let myself go. I was prescribed depression and anxiety meds (happy pills) which I did not see myself ever taking and I NEVER picked up from the pharmacy. I knew if I had to battle a mental situation I can turn it into a positive. So I did. I started walking at a local park and cleared my mind. Prayer helped me a lot and I also never lost my faith in God. Maybe a day or so after the assault but not during my recovery. I also had suicidal thoughts. But my family made me stronger. I promise you I have never felt as good as I feel today. 
I started my fitness journey. 
I never wanted this as bad as now, specially since I gained 40 pounds since my wedding, eeeek!!! 
I CAN do it and I WILL do it!!! 
I don't need happy pills all I need is God, my husband and my family's support. My faith and my patience. 
I am not perfect at times I will fail, but I will NOT give up!!! 

The police believed me because my attacker was a 2nd time offender
