Hello fellow lo-carbers!
A belated wish for a terrific new year! I have not been here for
awhile due to a death in my family. My older brother was visiting me
at Christmas, and unexpectedly passed away of a heart attack in our
home. It was traumatic to say the least, he was only 49 years old.
Unfortunately, he died in my nine year old's bed, so we had to deal
with my son's obvious distress over that issue. It was a difficult
time making arrangements, and there was so much stress abounding. I
ate emotionally for a week, but was able to put the brakes on that. I
felt terrible physically, and was ready to embrace "clean" eating!
That is a victory to me that I choose lo-carb over emotional binge
eating!!! The upshot of my brother's passing is that we are all at
peace now with his death, He was a devoted believer in the Lord, and
we know where he dwells now. It is business as usual, except now we
are all sick with colds and the flu. I am very anxious to start
walking again. Oh, and through it all I only gained 4 pounds, 3 of
which I have already lost! It is good to be back and I look forward to
reading your posts!
Blessings to all,
Jeano
