I'm so sorry that you've had such an overwhelming last couple of months! I think it is such a testament to your character that you have not made excuses (though no one would blame you if you did) and have such a resolved, positive outlook. I think you've set yourself up for a great, fresh start in 2016. Hopefully, things have turned a corner, and it's only upwards from here (well, downwards in terms of the pounds).
