Two pounds
****************************************
It's a sad week in our house. My mother in law passed away unexpectedly, and our lives are in turmoil. Aside from missing her terribly, the will is invalid because she hand wrote it and had it notarized. It simply stated that everything goes to my husband, but she didn't name an executor or have two witnesses. Now my husband has to petition to become the administrator of her estate, and this is going to cost us about $600. Lesson? Make sure if you draw up a will without using an attorney you a) sign in front of two witnesses b)have the document notarized and c) you name an executor in the document.
************************
I'm trying my best to stay on track diet wise without getting too nuts about it. I didn't have a funeral appropriate dress, so I had to go shopping today. All the clothes I tried on were too big. I've gone from a size 22 to a 14/16. I ended up having to buy a size 16 dress because it was all they had in the one I wanted, but I'm fairly sure a 14 would have fit much better. I'm thrilled, don't get me wrong, but I'm now in this gray area size wise---the smallest size in most plus size stores and in the uppermost range of regular misses sizes. A little frustrating when trying to find clothes, but I'll take that over weight gain any day.

So sorry for your family's loss. It makes it so difficult to have to deal with legalities on top of the emotional pain. Keep your head up, one foot in front of the other, and know that there's many thoughts and prayers coming your way!

Thank you for the support! It's much appreciated at this awful time. Eating hasn't been a problem. I've eaten some not so great things but have skipped a lot of meals this week, too. Hubby is managing to stick to our eating plan fairly well too. He seems to be doing all right, but he tends to hide upsets. Being macho. :-/
