So Proud of Myself
6 months ago I fled my home with my 7 month old son, a bag of his toys and the clothes on my back - to escape from Domestic Abuse (Psychological/Emotional/Coercion and Control). I was severely depressed, dealing with food addiction, and was so unfit I could hardly walk for more than a few minutes. All due to having every aspect of my life controlled by my ex partner. Only being allowed to eat unhealthy food - because he liked 'big girls'. Rarely leaving the house because he didn't want to go out, being isolated from everyone I knew. Being treated like dirt at every opportunity. Being constantly told I'm in the wrong. All I had the capacity to do was care for my son. But now - 6 months on, my son and I are living with my parents and doing amazing! My son is blossoming into the most amazing little boy! And I've done so much with my life! I've lost 22lbs and counting, my fitness is better than its been in years (I regularly take my son for long walks out and about), I'm in Therapy for CPTSD (from Domestic Abuse), I have so much more energy and stamina to spend time with my son. I'm just so proud of what I've accomplished despite how bad things were!
