Hi Crystal. I really hope you are well and enjoying your journey to better health. It is so hard to shift our focus inward after caring for loved ones for such a long time. You really deserve the time and effort it takes to become well. Please know you are in my prayers and I KNOW you can continue to rock this bet.

Nice to see your downhill trend continues. With spring finally arriving I've been gardening and enjoying the sunshine. I hope your area is celebrating spring as well. One day at a time my friend. Go Crystal Go!

Hi Crystal,
Sorry I've been away for a few days. It looks like you are continuing your journey to wellness. This is surely a one day at a time thing isn't it. Today I went for a long walk with a girlfriend. She recently lost her father and is now worried that her mother will give up on life. I encouraged her to make sure the grandchildren and great-grandchildren spend time with her mom. Her mom needs to feel important and connected with the present. It is such a draw to dwell in the past isn't it. Our talk made me think of you and say a little prayer for you and your family. Be well my friend and thank you for your encouragement.

Hi Crystal,
My condolences for your sad loss. I certainly understand emotional eating. It is so hard to exercise during those difficult days. I'm sure you wanted to spend most of your time with your father. I've lost both parents and gained each time.

Today my scale showed 214 lbs and I was 160 for years. I feel every one of those stubborn lbs. I would love to be your friend and will "friend" you. Leslie and I have connected and it is so nice to have that extra support. Let's all be winners together! Just one day at a time!

Kindest Regards my new friend.

Congratulations Crystal - you go girl!!
