Wow...I have been sans-computer forever it seems. I have been stalled out weight wise forever as well. No losses, no gains so at least I've held steady. I have gotten off track somewhat but I think the main culprit is that I am not eating enough again. Slipped back into those old habits of putting it off. *sigh*
WE've had a lot of drama the past few months and I'll spare you all the details but I will say that my FIL passed away last night. :o( It's sad but a relief at the same time. He's been very sick for awhile now (he was diagnosed with lung cancer in January...he already had 1/2 a lung removed a couple years ago...he had emphysema, diabetes and heart disease). He went peacefully at home. MIL's father is also very sick and isn't expected to live more than a week or two. So...yeah. That's just the icing on the cake, so to speak. It's been a very emotional year so far.
I also found out yesterday that my Dad accidentally ran over our 17 year old cat. :o( He was old so at least he lived a good life and gave us plenty of years of happiness...but he was just that much more a part of the family. So this last 24 hours has really sucked...and I haven't really had a chance to deal with it because I have been watching my niece and haven't wanted to be too emotional in front of the kids. I haven't said anything to Caity yet...she knows that her Papa was very sick and we've talked about death recently (a whole other story involving a bird that flew into our woodstove...and I found 3 more dead birds later...sigh) so I am hoping that will make it easier.
Whew...I didn't mean to go on and on like that! I just really wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone. I am actually still without computer...I am housesitting for my sister right now and using hers. Hopefully mine will be up and running again soon. Until then...I wish everyone happiness and strength. Stick with your plans! I'm going to do my best to get my good eating habits back on track!
Hugs all...

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having such a rough time lately. I hope you feel better soon, and don't be too hard on yourself if you have hit a stall...it would happen to anyone in such a situation. Take care of yourself, and come back soon! ~Sabrina
