I think that this is a positive - after all if he did not care he would not be angry. But it does seem that it will take a long time to show him that your changes are not temporary but reflect the new you. Continue to DB your heart out. show him that you understand his feelings but that you have also recognized your own problems and have made the changes needed for yourself. With patience (lots of patience - and the new you that you have worked on to become has this patience) you will reach your goal.
You also have confidence in yourself. You listed them earlier in one of your post. You also know that you are an attractive lady that other men notice. After all, you got hit on when you went out with some of your friends.
I would say from what I have seen on your post that you are the person that can do what it takes to be a success story - and I am confident that you have what it takes to reach your goal and one day you will get there.
