We are in the same boat, Ashley, almost word for word! I gained 60+ pounds between 2015-2016, largely due to the stress of a toxic work environment. I resigned my position last month and am focusing on getting healthy again. It sounds like you have a great boyfriend, like mine (who says I'm beautiful no matter what), but I don't feel beautiful and I know I'm not healthy like this. Kudos to you for having a fighting spirit and never giving up on yourself! It's awesome that you want to be the best example you can be as a nurse also. Thanks for sharing your story! Go forth and kick a$$!!!
