It has been a while

It has been a couple of months since I have posted on here. I have been so busy and my life went hay wire. My mom passed away unexpectedly in September. So I have been dealing with all that since then. When something like this happens, it is amazing how much food gets thrown at you from everyone. I am very grateful for everything that people did for us.

Since I have not been on I have lost 16lbs. So I am really at 134lbs now. I have lost a total of 126lbs on this journey in 11 months. It is crazy, and I am still getting use to my new self. People are starting to say that I am to skinny. I tell them yeah right! Not that I want to get any lower but it doesn't seem like it to me. It is that perception of yourself.

Well I hope that everyone else has been doing great! Let me know if I missed anything. I love being on here. You guys are the best! Thank you!

Hi Missy,
I'm so sorry about your mom. I hope you all are getting back on a even keel even though that's got to be rough. ((hugs))

Good to see you posting and congrats on your WL.

Oh Missy- I'm so sorry to hear about your mother...

I'm glad you came back and said hi! We've missed you around here.

It sounds like you've done an awesome job.  Just remember the folks who are telling you that you're too skinny aren't used to seeing you like that.  If they had never seen you before, they would never have made those comments to you... and thought it was normal!

I hope life gets back to normal for you.  If you make it this way one day, lets get together for lunch or dinner.

Thank you everyone! I appreciated it all.

Yeah I agree Jody. People have never seen me this skinny (actually I have NEVER been this skinny ). I have been obese since I moved up here so they are not use to it. I just keep plugging away. I am not actively trying to lose weight anymore but I do still eat healthy, and stay away from the no, no foods.


Jody- Yes we need to get together sometime. I will give you call sometime when I come into town. When ever I am in town it seems I have tons to do. :)

Blessings to you in this holiday season after the loss of your mom.  I know that can be tough, so I hope you find peace and comfort as you need them.

And welcome back - it is good to hear that your tool has been working away despite everything!

I have very sorry to hear about your mom.  Talk about stress....  You must have done an incredible job to maintain a weight loss during that time.  I know my old habits would have had me turning to food for comfort....

I'm so glad that you are back and we can give you our support and encouragement.
