I will weigh in this week, so am doing a journal entry only at this time. While I am in maintenance, it is still wise to be mindful of each meal and each choice that I make. This week, my family suffered the tragic death of our first-born son, age 38, in a fall from a ladder in his garage. He leaves a wife and 7 year old daughter. We were stunned. We are dealing with everything and supporting his precious family, and have been surrounded with people who are loving and caring. There have been a few opportunities to make poor choices when food is offered, but I think all in all that our choices have been okay. We have maintained our exercise schedule and have found when the grief is just overwhelming, that a long neighborhood walk has been very therapeutic. As a mother, I would urge you to hug your child and cherish them, no matter how old they are. I never imagined I would lose a child. Have a good week, full of good choices and God bless you.
