2nd time around

[jerijay]

I am trying SB for a second time. It worked before, but after being away from home for nearly 2 months following Hurricane Katrina and dealing with major repairs, job loss, etc. once I got home, the diet was the last thing I was thinking about.

But now, I'm ready to do it again. It was hard for me to start the first time. I'm so glad to find this forum. I really feel like I have someone to lean on and someone to listen.

Thanks to EVERYONE for tips. I hope I can contribute something to help someone else.:Clap:

Welcome Jerijay! I live in Florida so I had issues too, though not as severe as you did! And I blew my diet big time after Wilma hit us. Post Wilma in October through House guests (with house damage) in December, made me lose all restraint for what I ate. I gained 10 pounds. Lost 8 of those so far. I know it was real fat I gained because water weight would have been long gone!

Have you moved back into your home or a new one yet? My next door neighbor's daughter lost her home and she and her husband have an infant and a 3 year old. We took them in for a few weeks because my neighbor had more damage than me with Wilma. They just moved into a new home last week!

How's the diet going for you so far??
