My Update - I was told I need to write...

[QtpieMtV]

Hey guys.

So, Something terrible has happened. My mother, father and grandma were killed on Christmas day by a drunk driver. So ...I obviously have been off atkins eating my heart out. But then I stopped...and made a pact with my mother (in my head) to do it full-out and not cheat. It's been 10 days, I feel great and am happy I am not going to make junk food fix this problem.

I feel in a daze...it's still unbelievable to me. I'm going to therapy, reading books...I'm only 24...it's just horrible but I'm going to be OK. That's all I know...because I talk to them all the time, I feel them with me and that's what will get me through this.

I feel like they are all still on vacation. It happened in Florida...it's just devestating and I haven't gone back to work yet. I will go back after MLK day...

Anyway...that's that.
Talk soon..
Michelle
MTV girl...

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Michelle.

You are amazingly strong and should be commended for getting back on the WOL and continuing on this journey.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Michelle,
what a profoundly devastating loss. I am so very sorry and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God comfort you in the days to come.

I truly understand your pain. I just recently lost my grandmother who raised me from a baby and made me the person that I am. She passed two weeks before X-Mas and after drowning my grief with alcohol and food, I realized that she was in a better place and still present with me every day. My heart goes with you and you are in my prayers.

You are an amazing person Michelle. It is truly inspiring that you can look past your grief and concentrate on adopting this healthier WOE. Every now and then I have doubts as to whether I can stick with this lifestyle - but now if this happens I will remind myself that if you can do it after all you have been through, then I can definitely do it. Hugs.
