Good morning everyone! I just rejoined My Fitness Pal this week. This is my first official day back on program. I’ve tried multiple diet plans and this is the only program that was successful on. It makes me wonder why I ever stopped.

Life has been out of my control since January 22, 2019 and especially since February 22 of this year. I sustained serious injuries from a fall at work which ultimately left me disable and unable to work. Thankfully I receive worker’s compensation and just qualified for SSDI. I receive my first payment at the end of this month.

The most devastating thing happened on February 22 of this year. My Dad was diagnosed with mesothelioma on February 22 and that was the beginning of the end. Ten days later, my Dad was gone. I have been struggling mentally and emotionally since then. My Mom passed away in 2012 so we had my Dad to help us with her but there is no one to help us with him. Unfortunately his death and the stress related with helping him pass has caused my debilitating pain disorder to get out of control. It’s slowly getting back to baseline but it isn’t quite there yet. I That is what brought me back to My Fitness Pal. I decided to take control of the one thing I could — what I put in my mouth.

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Laurie

    Laurie I’m sorry about your dad. I can relate to the loss though. I lost both my parents in 2018. First my mom then 6 months later my dad. You never really get over that. The days get manageable but you always miss them terribly. Also sorry to here about your injuries. Taking the steps to take control shows great ambition. Best of luck on your journey.
