I got married 10/12 at 178lbs...I slowly started gaining and getting comfortable..eating things I hadn't in years.  While visiting family in greece I woke up with Bell's palsy on 9/14...my right side of my face was entirely paralyzed. It was devastating for me at 34 to look in the mirror and not recognize that girl.  Being insecure anyway this was a low blow since I thought my face was everything I had.  I isolated and ate my way to another 20lbs on top of the 20lbs from my wedding.  I need to take control of my life...this cannot beat me!!!  I want the old Despina back... Not just the looks but that spirit and that life that has been gone for a bit!!!! xx
