Weight loss is slower than I had hoped. I am doing everything right. The one bright spot is that my body is showing that I am on the right track. Only a pound and a half off this week but my body looks different and definitely better! My mother who I have been providing care for died on Saturday. I am a stress eater and I really am drawn to my old familiar foods right now. I haven't given in and I hope not to. Eating Atkins is going to be tough with people bringing casseroles, etc. and there is not going to be much time in the next week to scratch prepare my meals as I usually do.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother :( My mom has cancer, is very ill & in the hospital right now so I understand the stress eating which I'm sure is even more so after such a loss. I'll say a prayer for you and your family. Make sure you're taking care of yourself and getting enough rest during this very stressful time hon (((HUGS)))

Thanks for your kind comments. I hope you're enjoying looking at your photos. Its good to look at images from the past - they can bring sone lovely memories.
I can accept the wrinkles and ageing, it was just that I thought I now looked better than the photo showed. Funnily enough it was a photo of my Mom that made me take the picture in the first place. I went to my daughters a few weeks ago for a week and she had a framed picture of me, my Mom and two grand children sitting on the patio steps and I am measurably thinner now. My Mom has been gone 6 years now and I nursed her for the last few months of her life. I accept the fact that her body and spirit just wore out and it was time for her to go but I do miss her. I was her only child and she was very proud of me and always wanted me to lose weight. I am so pleased at how much I've lots so far and took the photo with her in mind. I think somehow its all got mixed up in my head and when I didn't look quite as I imagined, I felt I had let her down a bit. Thats my bit of psychology any way.
