My heart is broken for you. That's a lot for one person to bear, especially in such a short period of tme. I'm glad you're back on OH - such a great place to give AND receive support and encouragement. I'll put you on my prayer list. You sound like a strong woman and I hope things get better for you very soon!

Wow....what a big (sometimes miserable) year you have had.   You are so very strong.   I think I would be found UNDER the bed with all this happening to me.

My Mom is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's.   She is still here physically, but she hasn't known any of us for several years now.   I know how hard it is to lose your mother.   My Mom and I were really close too.   Not a day went by that I didn't talk to her AT LEAST once. Now I find it hard to go to the home to see her (although I do).   I just want to pick her up like my baby and rock her and tell her that it will all be okay.   It won't.

Thank you for posting your ordeal.   It must have been one of the darkest years in your life, but you have come through.   That gives all of us with problems the inspiration to keep going.

Hope you have sunshine and roses for a long, long time.

Bonnie

I read the whole post too, and just have to say that you have quite a lot to deal with this year, you are very strong to get on top of everything and deal with the weight that you have gained before it becomes a bigger hurdle. WTG on your 4 pound loss! I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mother and everything else you've been through. Welcome back to the board and I hope that this next year is easier on you and brings you many great things!

I'm so sorry for all that you've been through this past year - but I'm very glad that you're back on OH (from one who wasn't privvy to your greatness when you were on here before!). But I have to correct you on something. It's not weak to come here for support - it takes a lot of strength and courage to be willing to change your life and to not only know what positive influences you have available to you - but to seek them out. Congratulations to you for finding your strength. :)

We are all glad that you are back on the board.
I hope you do well now.

So sorry to hear your story of this last year...
Letting your feelings show is not weak.
Holding them in and hiding can hurt you ,as you do know.
I pray that all goes well for you in this year.
Consciously and purposely take good care of yourself.
