Making a change!

February 2013 will be 4 years since I joined Spark People. I love all the resources available here & have made some great friends. The past couple of years since moving from Missouri to Washington have been full of ups and downs. I have dealt with the stress & depression by eating. Unfortunately I have gained a lot of the weight I had lost back so am starting over again. Here's to 2013 being a better year!

Loren sounds like such a special person, the kind that we come across seldom in our lives. I can imagine he did enjoy helping you out, probably that was the very thing that gave him fulfillment that day Martha. He sounds like he was the kind of man that wanted to help people. What a gift to have known him! emoticon Sissie emoticon

Thanks for commenting on my blog Martha. The scary thing is how easy it was to go from overeating a little to just full blown "I don't care, I want it' type eating. I was naive in thinking that I had things under control now. And you are right, thank goodness we walked so much!
I also wanted to let you know I am still thinking of you and your loss, it's so hard to lose the ones we love. You are in my prayers.. emoticon Sissie

I don't know about blinders or self control, the latter hasn't served me well the last two or three weeks. I'm watching what I eat, did not stop for a sandwich today, have had red, blue, green and white fruits and veggies2 days. I flossed my teeth two nights in a row-small streaks, but I'll continue trying.
Good luck to you too.

Thank you for commenting on my blog about the tornado. I have been in a lot of tornados but have never seen up close so it was an amazing thing for me. I am thankful that we did not lose anyone in our little community. The weather has moved on to the East now wrecking havoc wherever it lands.
