Shell, you're just in a funk right now; it will pass, I promise. Just think about all that's happened in your life lately; it's TOO MUCH! Dieting, as you know, takes all our focus; there's no room for anything else. And then, when your favorite uncle comes down with esophageal cancer, there goes the focus.
You totally know how to do this. I keep thinking back on the "BEFORE" picture of you, Shell, which blew my mind when I first saw it -- and still does! You have come SOOOOO far and done SOOOOOO well, this is just a VERY slight setback for you. I'm not going to make any suggestions, because by now you already know 'em all. Just don't be so hard on yourself; give yourself a break. You'll get over this funk when things calm down a little.
Do yourself a favor. Pull out that "BEFORE" picture, then look in the mirror. I guarantee you'll feel better.

Hi there...I just wanted to share this with you: I have been really trying to get motivated to lose some weight. I lost about 20 lbs a year ago and would like to lose another 15...so as I searched this website for tips and all, I came across your story. I saw that eating for IBS CAN help with weight loss and exercise and everything. It really motivated me. I started my diet a couple of weeks ago and feel great. I just wanted you to know that your story really inspires people. Good luck with everything and I hope this makes you feel a bit better! You look fantastic in your 'after' pic!

I've been carrying around 50 extra pounds for over 7 years now. I'm tired of it. I don't have to carry it around. I am making new effort - as in today will be day 3 - to make time for exercise so that I can lose some weight. It's just plain bad for your health, and the longer I put off doing it, the worse I will be for the laziness. Please, keep going! I've not said a lot, but your HUGE change in health has been so amazing to see, and it's time I follow in your footsteps.

Shell, I agree with Bevvy! You've come SO far and are just in a funk and rightfully so with all that is going on! Don't beat yourself up over a small set back! Like Bevvy suggested, pull out the before pictures if you need a reminder just how far you've come! Hang in there!!

Thanks Bevrs for your support!! Your RIGHT..... it is the "focus" that is gone.... or maybe it is just a little blurry right now.... but I'm trying to change that!!
I will have to get out the before & after pics again.... they are at the bottom of my gym bag...guess it is time to dig them back out.

Hang in there Shell! I know that you can do it and we are all rooting for you. You are a strong person and everyone can get into a rut. Have you gone out and bought any new workout clothes lateley? Sometimes that makes me feel better! *hugs and lots of support coming your way!*

Hi Aly...
Wow... I did not realize that people were still reading my story.... maybe I need to go back and read it myself... maybe that will give the "focus" as Bevrs called it....to see how far I HAVE come already.... thank you so much for taking the time to post your message to me. Keep up the good work yourself.... I KNOW it CAN work and it CAN be done..... maybe we will be reading YOUR story someday!! {{hugs}}
