Wife said she was done! House sold, Moving forward

[Maritimer]

I now believe it comes down to a self-esteem issue. My father passed away when I was 15 and a year later my mother moved away leaving me by myself throughout the last year of high school. I felt abandoned. Where I grew up every social event was accompanied with booze and drugs. I was accepted and it gave me confidence. I was not good at sports nor did I have much money to do any extracurricular activities.

I now feel the same way as my wife left me and took the kids. Abandoned.

The fun things I do…I jog every second day, along with different exercises. I go out on my motorcycle every now and then. Walk my dog (Who is awesome by the way!)

The things I do to improve myself are trying to eat healthier, exercise more, reading self-help books. Just being a happier person for myself, my children and family.

My goals are to become a healthy, confident individual who is a great role model for my 2 wonderful boys. I lost 50 pounds so far and am struggling to lose another 20.

“The gift of time”… I really need to take advantage of this opportunity to make myself into the best person I can be… Still trying to figure out who that is.

Amazing how a few hours ago I felt like crap and now I am newly inspired to grab life by the horns!

Thanks for getting me on track again!!
