Yes, thank you. I have been working so hard on myself these past few months! Honestly, it feels like the only thing I can do to keep the insanity away. My self esteem hit such a low point that I could barely function. But some people told me to do something good for yourself every day and I did that, and that really helped.

An attractive version of myself? I am taking a lot more responsibility for my happiness. I have become more self sufficient. I'm taking care of myself health wise as well. Better food choices (not stuffing my feelings with food), no alcohol, exercise. Spending a lot more time with good friends who build my self esteem.

So regardless of what happens (sure looks like we are headed straight for divorce), I will come out of this a better, healthier person.
