    I am so sorry for your loss.

    2013 was horrible for me and I gained the 25 lbs I lost and then another 20 on top of it!

    In late Dec. of 2012 I wound up in the ER with a huge kidney stone, I was having bi weekly surgeries to try to get rid of the stone. My grandfather died in late Jan. Then two weeks later my dad had surgery and had a huge stroke and passed away. Then about 4 weeks later my uncle died in a horrific accident when he was driving his cement truck. Needless to say I was an emotional mess!

    I am one of those people who eat when I am stressed, eat when I am happy, eat when I am sad... I just eat!

    You will know when you are ready. My dad was always my biggest supporter and I know he is helping me along this journey.

    In the past year I have lost all of the gained weight and am plugging through. Exercising and helping me helped me get through the rough time.

    Right there with you.
    I lost my best friend and my Father within a year of each other.
    Almost to the day.
