I appreciate the kind words, everyone 
I have hope that my dad will come around now more than ever. Until then I can only keep living my life as best as I can, enjoying it so fully now that I finally get to be me outside the limited time I spend with him. One day I'm sure I'll have the freedom to be myself around him too ^_^
And beyond the stretchmarks and sag of my belly for having once weighed 230+ pounds I'm still very much proud of and happy with the body I've been able to achieve~
