I've lost 5 lbs...

Deb,

Thanks so much for the prayers. I'm not sure if and/or how we might celebrate, but we'll see. Like you, I'm glad that Ben and Sarah are coming... for so many reasons.

I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time! One thought on the weight loss - could it possibly be from dehydration, especially from the plane? I discovered during my last long trip that even though I was drinking TONS of water on the plane, I lost weight for a couple of days after getting home. Also, stress can definitely do a number...I've found that I'm more of a stress non-eater now than a stress eater...

I'm glad Ben and Sarah will be joining you tomorrow - I'm sure it will be good for you to have them around, even under the cir****tances. I'm thinking about you guys...I lost a very good friend in January to cancer (he was 37) and my stepsister is nearing the end of her fight as well - she's now under hospice care. Cancer sucks.

Hi Sarah,

I guess I could be drinking a bit more, but I think the weight loss is because I'm not eating enough. I have been eating most of my breakfast, lunch and dinner meals, but not so much when it comes to those supplemental snacks that keep up my calorie count and I realized that I didn't have dinner last night. I just need to keep working on it. 

Thanks again for the support and the virtual hug. 

 

I don't have any real suggestions that I know would help but I do hope things get a little better for you. I will certainly keep you and your family in my good thoughts.

Thanks Ann!

Happy Birthday my friend... (a little early but I didn't want to miss the chance to wish you well)


Hang in there...  things have to turn around soon.  And I do hope tomorrow is very special.  Having Ben and Sarah and the boys all in one place will no doubt be wonderful for you.  Enjoy your day and have some birthday cake.

Thanks Dalton... and you were on my mind Sunday :-) Congratulations on the BIG WIN!!! It was time for them to go marching home.

Hey Sweetie,

Yes, I heard about your weightloss - Sarah told me Saturday night.  Did they tell you that G and I send our love?  I'm glad we got to see them before they left coming out.  It was nice to just get out of ourselves and forget for a little while.

So Happy Belated Birthday.  I am so busy myself, but I can only imagine what you're going through.  Know that prayers from people you don't even know are being offered up for you and the family now. 

When you get some time, or when Ben and Sarah get back home, we need to chat.  I'll try to email you as soon as I can, but for now, just remember we love ya'll.  Talk to you soon.

Oh yeah, and please try to take care of yourself!  I know how you keep after all of us, so now it's time to heed your own words of wisdom as best you can.  If you don't care for yourself, remember that there will be nothing left for those who need you.  So put yourself first - right where you should be!

Love and Hugs!
