So I can't remember where we left our heroine last. I think it was maybe right after the new year of '05 or perhaps around Xmas of '04. Well gosh its already mid '06... that didn't seem so long ago.
So much happened tho. I remember leaving MF after much hounding from my husband who wanted to go out for dinner and to the bars all the time again. I did manage to keep that 40lbs off for about most of '05 until my step-mom was diagnosed with brain cancer. I went home to help my dad take care of her until she passed in November. She was bed-bound for that last month and I was on "night-shift" and on a steady diet of hot pockets and insomina. Then in January my dad dropped the bomb that he needed a triple bypass, which turned out to be a quadruple. So I was there Mid-feb til the beginning of March again to help care for him post-op. In that time, I gained back those 40lbs lost. It was really stupid of me, really - all that stuff I had learned just kinda went out the window while I was under stress. I've had a lot of different kinds of stress... but this was a whole new kind and I honestly had no idea how to deal with it. And it wasn't even so much that I was binge or stress eating as it was I totally stopped excersing, started drinking more and made terrible food choices. ie. Smartiegrrl was not being so very smart.
SO I'm back on the medifast again, I finished a week so far. I got a new job - my dad recovered just perfectly and he's back to fishing and golfing and all that. I gave my husband the lowdown that if he wants to see me healthy he's gonna have to change too. I sent him up to the cabin with out me because I didn't want to be around his foodie family.
I've actually been lurking here for a week or so trying to figure out how to re-introduce myself. Honestly I'm a bit embarassed I regained the weight, but at least I'm doing something about it, right?
Also in that year and a half - wow MF has all kinds of new stuff - soy crisps? ZOMG.
So, like, Hi!
Good for you for committing to Medifast once again. We are all here for you, we help each other here!
