Please will someone please help me. I've only gained 4lbs back I want to get started before I really loose control. Thanks for any help you can give. Dealing with a daughter on drugs made me know we all have our demons big and small.

Hey Newlady! You are doing great, look at how much you accomplished and how far you have made it on this diet. Life handed you one of the ultimate stressors, and still you are back here in almost no time, making wise and loving choices for yourself (and therefore, for your family) by getting the support you need to deal with it in a healthy way. I would never tongue-bash that. I admire you for your dedication, courage, and desire to deal with this in a healthy way instead of reverting back to old habits that would be easy to fall back to for comfort in troubling times. I ditto what Monica said. Here is how I think you do this: one day at a time. Which means come here every day for your dose of inspiration, encouragement, sharing in your victories, sharing your stresses, etc... Daily support is so critical when life hands you this kind of stress. The folks here will lift you up and get you through these difficult times. They will celebrate with you and laugh with you and cry with you. Since life has handed you a lot right now, maybe make a few buddies you can IM. Everyone here is rooting for you and wants to help you through this! God bless and prayers for you and your daughter.
