I am very sorry for your loss. I can relate, my dad died of a massive heart attack at 46, when I was 21- this was probably what started my weight gain in the first place, stay strong but let your thoughts and emotions out- friends and family will always help.

I'm new to these boards so you don't know me, but I am very sorry about the loss of you father. I had an uncle who died around the same age of a sudden heart attack. Nobody in the family was in any way prepared for it. You are very dedicated to be able keep on track with Atkins during your grief.

Jobu, sorry about the loss of your father. Losing a parent is very tough at any age, but especially when they're so young. You will always have those wonderful memories of him though. I lost both my parents, my dad over 20 years ago and my mom, 10 years ago, yet their memories are still fresh in mind. On another note, congrats on staying on plan during this difficult time, your dad would've been so proud of you! Keep up the great work!

I'm so sorry for your loss i lost my dad in May to a sudden heart attack so I can understand the void it has suddenly created in your world.

COngrats on the shrinking you are doing. Our Atkins is our new way of life and as a way of life it must include our spirituality and the rituals of it. it does us no go to arrive at goal smaller and healthier if we are suffering from spritual malnutriton. Partake of communion and let your soul be nurished and don't worry about the carbs in it just as our Jewish members partake of a Sedar, our Islamic memebers celebrating Ramadan partake of the iftar and our wiccan memebers their ritual cake. Nurtish your soul and grow your christianity as your Atkins shrinks your body.

Prayers for you and your family

Oh Jobu

Your story reminds me of my husbands. He too lost his father and grandfather at a very young age from heart disease. Our sympathy to you my friend. Take good care of yourself emotionally, physically and mentally. Keep up the good work on your own success for a long healthy life.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad three and a half years ago. I was 22. I'm grateful for the time I was able to spend with him. I have five younger siblings who were not lucky enough to fully "grow up" with his wonderful influence in their lives. I hope that you are able to find some peace and solace in this difficult time.

I'm new here on the boards, but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about your loss. Nothing can replace a parent's place in their child's life, no matter how old that child is. Cherish your memories that you have of him!

I wouldn't worry about the communion either. We have it once a month at our church and I let God take care of those carbs.
