It's just a dress but it was my sister's dress. For years, I used to borrow her clothes when I had a need. Then I gained weight and she got sick and lost weight. After a long struggle she died last March. My heart is broken and I miss her. I have this dress hanging in my closet. Someday I'd like to wear it and wrap myself up in her sense of style.

  • @lita_loses_it_all2 - So sorry you are struggling. <<BIG HUGS>>. Don't worry over a slip up and gaining. If you set yourself right, those pounds will go away in a day or two. Perfection is not needed but don't invite those pounds to stay! You've worked so hard. Keep in mind that if hunger is not the problem, then food is…

  • There are several posts throwing shade on the innocent scale. For me, it's just tool in the tool box giving a snapshot of the facts for a moment in time. We've all had bad snapshots, right? ≈ Long ago, in paper-map days, I got on the correct road in the middle of nowhere and happily drove in the wrong direction for 100…
