Dear Yvonne, bless you. May God shine his holy light on you and help you reach your goal. Lord knows you deserve the very best in life.God gives us gifts. Sometimes a terrible tragedy can have a silver lining.A silver lining might be that you were given the opportunity to clear all the food from your home.

My gift from God is a challenge to me to find my inner strength. I have to pull from myself up and find the inner strength to resist the temptation of food because the food is there all around me. Most of the time I do not feel I have the inner strength. Sometimes I feel like I do not have the strength to get out of bed, to get up and go to work, to go on living another day, much less avoid food so it has been a huge obstacle in my ability to lose weight.

I am going back on SS this week- Monday October 8. I will let you know how I am doing in another month or 2.

Everyone keep going.
