Can I Join in too

[khesan]

Hi Fellow 50+ers.....My name is Wendy I am 53 and have been here & done this woe before I lost almost 40kgs then my life started to fall apart and I went back to my old comfort in times of stress...yes food...now I find I have an ever greater hurdle to jump and I don't want to keep going down this road alone. I have decided to ask for help and support to help me thru and here I am.
My sister was diagnosed with emphysema a month ago it was a huge shock and sent my mum into a tail spin ...she had not been feeling well for several months and as my sister was moving interstate we thought it was just stress. then last friday mum was diagnosed with a brain tumor....my sister is thousands of miles away amd my mum lives an hr from me then Monday I blew the motor of my my car up so I am now standed unable to get to her or anything else. I am feeling like I am drowning and don't want to turn to my old enemy anymore so I am taking contol of the one thing I can and starting Atkins again. I need to be strong and make sure I am here for them both.
Sorry for pouring this all out in my first post but I need to unload this and start again to gain control of my life.
God bless this forum and everyone here you are all life savers to me
Hugs
Wendy

Hi Wendy! Warm welcome back to Atkins and the ADBB.
You did a great thing in taking back control of your life and your eating. I'm positive that pretty soon you'll begin to feel better about yourself, and thus stronger for others who need you.
Really sorry to hear your woes. Sometimes it seems life gangs up on us, but you can be sure that there will be better times.

Post lots and keep us updated as to you and your family's story(ies) and of course your progress. You can do this... we're here for you!
