    First, know that we all struggle with the holidays. Second not bring able to exercise is going to slow down your process, it's ok, just eat healthy foods. Third, dealing with a loss of a loved one is obviously extreemly stressful and emotional to say the least. Since most of us eat because of stress or emotionally eat it would be understandible that this to would make weight loss a struggle. Just take it one day at a time, one meal at a time if that makes it easier for you. You seem to have a good perspective, knowing that things will get better. And they will..... Just take care of yourself the best you can! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Hey Shar! Thanks for getting back online with the MFP Crew! While I don't know the recipe for Pot Pie... hmmm, that sounds funny without some type of meat ahead of that title :laugh: I think it's great you're reaching out.

    You've gone through a lot, and you're still working through some stuff here with your surgery and recovery from your Dad's passing (my condolences). My hope is that you'll continue communicating with the MFP folks so we can work together through this. Keep chatting it up, and do take care.

    Be at Peace :flowerforyou:
