Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Sunday 12/23

Here I am safe in Memphis. Had a great trip.

Rob, we stopped at Pancake Pantry and I had my first post-op pancake - a Santa Feel Cornmeal pancake. Delicious! Thanks for the tip.

My scale is 800 miles away, so who knows what I weigh. Being a little loose this holiday weekend, hoping to weigh 140 when I get home.

177.1 this morning.  Glad you had a safe trip Mom and are safely ensconced in Memphis!

My dad died yesterday afternoon.  I was able to be with him, and it was a very peaceful passing, so I am grateful.   I am very sad, and will so miss him, but he's no longer suffering, so I am at peace with his death.  I am also very, very grateful that my time with him yesterday was not clouded by me being numbed out from food, or even thoughts of food.  I was fully present and there for him and family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad a little over a year ago, and like you I was there at the end. It is a memory I will always cherish and you will too.

Thank you so much Judy!

So sorry about your Dad. Glad you were able to be with him, but I know it's hard this time of year. Hugs.

Thanks Mom!  Even though it's hard at this time of year, in some ways, Christmas, and making it special for my kids, is a distraction as well.

My condolences, sad but happy you had those moments with him.

Thank you so much.  My feelings have swayed between sad for myself and happy that he's at peace.

So sorry about your dad. You are very lucky to have had the opportunity to be with him at the end. I did the same for my mother when she died. It is a moment I will be forever grateful for having had. As hard and gut wrenchingly sad as it was for me, it was the least I could do for my mom. Be well. Be strong. You have a lot of feelings to face in the weeks and months ahead.

Thanks Kairk.  I do feel lucky to have been there with him.  I know my grieving has just begun, but I will get through it.
