trying to get back....

Hello Everyone,

It has been a really long time since I posted anything, but I am trying to get back on track. Things are going a little better.  I have come to terms that Mike is gone and I can't change that so I need to try to move on. Some days are harder than others. On the really hard days I am finding that I am turning to food for comfort. THATS NOT GOOD!!!!  I am trying to change that also. When Mike first diagnosed with cancer I lost down to 126 pounds, needless to say I got fused at by him and my doctor.  Over the past year I have gained back up to 139 pounds.. I want to stop all the snacking but don't know how to do that at this point. Can anyone offer any suggestions?  I have really missed you all and hope that I will become a regular on the board again.  Love and hugs..

Renee

Renee...it is so great to see you.  I have missed seeing you.  I try to snack on protein shakes and bars when I want to snack.  They may not be the best, but they are much better than some of the snacks I use to snack on.  Please let us hear from you. 

Hi Renee! I've thought about you and wondered how you were doing since Mike passed.  I know you have good and bad days, but I pray that as time goes on there will be more good ones and that your good memories will sustain you and heal the pain.  I know you'll never get OVER it, but with time it gets better.

My biggest suggestion is to go back to basics.  Protein first, planned meals, no snacking unless it's low-carb and water, water, water.  AND (the hard part for me) EXERCISE!!  ((HUGS))
