Oh my gosh, thank y'all so much for the overwhelming support! From the day he got out of prison, to our wedding, and to the polygraph I have had so much encouragement and concern from my OD/PB family. I can't thank ya'll enough. I feel like this is the only place people 100% know the real Leigh and I'm so grateful for the people who have followed my journey with Bradley, especially considering how odd it is and the skepticism I'm sure many have/had about it all.
That being said, nothing has changed since the polygraph. He has his class tomorrow so the ball should start rolling then. My dad is coming to visit next week and I was hoping to be out of here by then. It's really embarrassing. Not so much with my dad, but when my brothers and sister in laws come to visit when he's here, I am mega ashamed and feel dumb for being 'married' and living here (they don't know anything about our situation.) Hopefully it'll all come to an end soon.
There's not much else going on so I wanted to update on my weight loss. It's still going good. I made the mistake of stepping on the scale for the first time in forever. Shouldn't have done that because it made me mega depressed, even though I KNOW the scale is so overrated. I am fitting in size 6 AE jeans for the first time in forever, so I know I'm losing weight. I guess I just want the feeling of stepping on the scale and seeing "12-something". I haven't been 120-anything since, like 8th grade. Right before I blew up and gained 30+ pounds in one summer right before I started high school (perfect timing right? Hello awkward teenage years).
Anyways, we went down to Tampa this weekend for my brother's surprise 30th b-day party and when we went shopping I actually liked what I saw. The outfit I bought for his party was so out of my element, one of those crop tops and body con skirts I never thought I could pull off, but actually looked half decent in. If you're on my FB or IG then you've prob seen most of these, sorry!
Me and Bradley at the surprise party:

Two of my brothers (missing the one in Scotland) and their wives and Bradley :)

This is a before/after. The before was from a Halloween party a LONG time ago. Back when I drank beer every night and ate whatever. One of the bigger times in my life. 
This was an outfit I tried on at Charlotte Russe but felt way too old to wear it in public. So I def did not get it, but I still want some shorts like that. That before pic was from about a year and a half ago, a few months before I initially started my weight loss journey:

And, to re-enforce how much the scale doesn't matter, in both of these pics I am the same weight! 138 in both pics. I need to look at this and remind myself the scale doesn't matter every time I get depressed about how much it says.

And finally, here are a couple pics of the outfit I wore to a training I did today at a sheriff's office. This was a "non-scale victory" for me as I bought that skirt when i went shopping in Orlando. I bought it without trying it on, it's a size 6. When I tried it on at home it barely fit and I looked like a stuffed sausage. So I was excited to finally get to wear it today:
