    My Update - I was told I need to write...

    Hey guys.

    So, Something terrible has happened. My mother, father and grandma were killed on Christmas day by a drunk driver. So ...I obviously have been off atkins eating my heart out. But then I stopped...and made a pact with my mother (in my head) to do it full-out and not cheat. It's been 10 days, I feel great and am happy I am not going to make junk food fix this problem.

    I feel in a daze...it's still unbelievable to me. I'm going to therapy, reading books...I'm only 24...it's just horrible but I'm going to be OK. That's all I know...because I talk to them all the time, I feel them with me and that's what will get me through this.

    I feel like they are all still on vacation. It happened in Florida...it's just devestating and I haven't gone back to work yet. I will go back after MLK day...

    Anyway...that's that.
    Talk soon..

              You are amazingly strong and should be commended for getting back on the WOL and continuing on this journey.

                  I truly understand your pain. I just recently lost my grandmother who raised me from a baby and made me the person that I am. She passed two weeks before X-Mas and after drowning my grief with alcohol and food, I realized that she was in a better place and still present with me every day. My heart goes with you and you are in my prayers.

                    You are an amazing person Michelle. It is truly inspiring that you can look past your grief and concentrate on adopting this healthier WOE. Every now and then I have doubts as to whether I can stick with this lifestyle - but now if this happens I will remind myself that if you can do it after all you have been through, then I can definitely do it. Hugs.

                            I would like to say my sympathies are with you Michelle,

                            Therapy will be good for you, as will time. It would be good to get back to work for you to have the support of colleagues, I would imagine.

                              ((((Hugs)))) I am soo sorry for your loss. However, I am a true believer that our loved ones never leave us - they may not be here in a physical sense but they are always with us in our hearts and minds. I talked to my grandmother almost daily (she too raised me)... Funny enough I believe she sends me "signs" when I am messing up. Try to focus and the love and support they have always shown you and you will succeed.

                              Take care,
