I'm back, tail between my legs, head hanging down. I've not been watching my diet since April and have gained back everything plus a few extra (30 lbs total gained since April 26). I feel like junk, none of my clothes fit and I'm exhausted all the time. My dad passed away a month ago yesterday. He had to have double bypass surgery and was improving when 9 days later, the day after his 79th birthday, he went into cardiac arrest and was gone. One of the things he said to me and my kids after he came out of surgery was "take care of your health". I intend to do that for myself, my kids and to honor him. I was a little discouraged to see that only 10 friends had not deleted me and that I had no messages or entries on my profile. I'm looking for some friends who will stick with me through good times and bad! This is a marathon, not a sprint; it's a journey, not a destination and we all need every ounce of help we can get!

My condolences to you and your family, and your dad gave us all wise words. I had once heard of that line before; no matter how much money we earned, how much knowledge we learned, health is the most important thing.0
