(((((Alice))))),

It's been a long time my friend and it amazes me at just how parallel our lives seem to run. Like you, I lost my mother this past year, along with the losses of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ben's job and our home, so I really empathize and sympathize with the challenges you have been dealing with this past year. Like you, we have also celebrated the blessing of our children's weddings, but not beautiful grandchildren yet ;-)... She sure is a beauty! 

At any rate, while I understand your distress at your 10 lb gain, I think it's not so much the weight as the fact that it wasn't planned gain, but gain that occurs with stress. All of that said, it sounds to me like you have a plan and are working it. I did the same thing and was able to take off the extra pounds I found. I'm confident that as you start focusing on taking care of you, you will too because we still have those tools. 

I recently had a large symposium in Raleigh drawing people from your neck of the woods. I've been asked if we had any support groups in the area, but I'm not sure if you still host any of them anymore or if anyone else has taken up the mantle there. There does seem to be interest, so let me know if you think having bi-monthly meetings in your area might be worth trying again or not.

I've missed you and look forward to seeing you now and again my friend.

All the best,
