Sorry I haven't posted lately August 15, 2008 9:44 am Things are much better with my eye so hopefully I can get back on track. This has been a tough month for me! I gained weight and I have been cheating so badly and I did not know how to let Ira know that I was struggling. He is my biggest cheerleader and I did not want to let him down.
2 comments | Leave a comment.Yesterday, I finally broke down and told him what was going on...I did not let him down, instead I let him know I was human. We talked somethings through and he helped me get a plan together to get back to some of the basics. I share this with all of you not for you to feel sorry for what I am going through but so you too will know how important it is to have a support person. One that not only supports you when the pounds are falling off but when the carbs are going in. Use your support system for a kick start. Good back to the basics. We did not choose this as the easy way out, we chose it because it will be a tool for us to use over and over again. This is not an easy thing to take on but it is worth every moment, not so I can lose weight but so I can regain my health. I wish you all the best and as I have told many of you...drink drink drink and chew chew chew...and rely on those who love you to help support you when you struggle. Chin up and get moving! (Giving myself a swift kick in the tush!)
Need you support and prayers August 8, 2008 4:35 am Hi everyone. The other day Melissa was diagnosed with Histoplasmosis, which is causing fluid to build up behind her Retina. In order for this to be corrected she will have to undergo a series of injections into her eye. The medication used is also used to treat Colorectal Cancer. This process takes a few months to take care of as the shots are given every 5 weeks. My reason for this posting is to ask all of you for your special prayers for Melissa. This is very stressful for both of us but we are strong and have a strong faith that God will get us through this. Thank you for allowing me to ask you for any support you can give Melissa.
