    Hello! I'm back from holiday

    Hi Guys

    I have good news and bad... I am incredibly pleased to announce that thanks to all of your encouragement and support, I managed to stick to the plan throughout my holiday (except extra alcohol). I have stayed the same weight this week which was expected as it's TOM. Thanks for all of your help. It is the first time in for as long as I can remember when I haven't used a holiday as an excuse to eat as much as I like and worry about it later.

    The bad news is that I returned to the news that my father is very ill in hospital. He has an infection and pneumonia (sp?) and is really poorly. It was a real shock to come back to as I didn't even know he had been ill. I went to see him today and he is really sick but stable.

    Anyway, I am feeling pretty sad at the moment so I will sign off and speak to you soon.

                Zara, we are here for you. When my Dad was sick earlier this year, (he is fine now) I sure wanted someone to talk to. This board is about more than the diet. We want to support each other in all aspects of our lives. We are here to listen when you want to talk. BTW, excellent job on the diet...

                        Zara, I hope your Dad is better and all is well. I was going to ask you to tell us about your vacation. Where did you go, what did you see and do. I love to read about folks travels. When Dad is better, tell all.
