I'm Back.....(again)

[zurgswife]

After successful weight loss Jan - June....last year...didn't quite make goal but looking and feeling better....

Things fell apart about in Aug....and have gone down hill ever since. I've packed on the weight I lost plus an additional 7....While I'm not really heavy looking...I can really feel and see the extra weight...about 30lbs worth...

After the last few weeks of famliy tragedies...2 family deaths...I decided to give myself 1 week (that was last week) and then start back with my low carb eating. Monday was really easy...today..It's only 8:40am...seems like it will be harder...I'm already having cravings....I didn't fall into the old trap and I'm drinking water right now...

Last July 4th we have a community picnic and party at our pool..I got lots of comments of how great I looked...hoping to lose some of the really extra weight by then this year....Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get into last years suit by July 4th....

You guys were a great support last year....I left when I shouldn't have ....I'm vowing to stick with WISH again this year....We still have a rough road ahead this year with DH losing his job in 4 weeks...but I'm going to be stronger then in the past....

Thanks for listening..

Hi ZW. First I am sorry for the losses in your life. I am also sorry for your husband losing his job. There are so many people I know that have lost their jobs. It is so, so sad. You are brave to come back here because that alone would put me in emotional eating. I have read your posts in different forums and you seem so funny. We are also going down to WDW in December so we look forward to meeting you and your family. Your family seems like such fun. I love badshoe.....it is a riot. Now I find myself looking at shoes when I am down there. Good luck in your journey. You will do great!

I'm so sorry for the losses in your family. Was one of them your MIL?? I thought I remembered seeing a post about her. I'm so sorry. That isn't easy.

I'm at that age where it seems every year a relative dies. Now I know why my parents were so melancholy at times growing up. Their world, as far as the people in it, was changing, like I see mine changing now. It's sobering. Makes you realize what is really important.

But, I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK! You and Ray were such an inspiration for me when I started WISH. I haven't made much progress since you have been gone, though. Maybe together, this can be OUR YEAR!

Would you like to join us on the May induction thread?? It's just a little boost while we go thru it together.

Again, Welcome back, Kim.........................:thewave:

Thanks for all the support...I've made it to 3pm and I'm not doing too bad...I did have a small snack that consisted of 5 corn tortilla chips and salsa...not too bad and I was able to stop...

It wasn't my MIL...but my step mom....we were very very close...I had written about her a number of times. The hard parts about each of the 2 deaths were my stepmom was only 55 and my cousin who was killed in a car accident was only 29....Unfortunely they weren't relatives that have lived a long life.....
