I'm here! I'm here! LOL
I've been doing pretty well (thank God!). I've had my post-hell week let down and released another 2 lbs (thank God again!). It seems that I really lost focus for a bit, mostly just trying to navigate the issues of life and struggling with 1200 calories a day. I still feel like I'm on a merry-go-round of change, but have decided to take life by the horns. The grace of God and renewed determination brought back the control and discipline I need, and has freed me from releasing frustration and expressing my emotions through eating in the last few weeks. Away with the old habits!
The other day I went through the clearance racks of a local store and found a lovely designer dress at a fraction of the cost. The best thing about it was the way it fit...I'm on the cusp of another size change, and that feels good. Each time I move down a size it's still unbelievable. Even as I look at other women around me I can't believe I'm the same size or smaller than they are. I was looking at a picture of myself taken last August and can't believe I was ever the size/weight I was, and can see how miserable I was cloaked in fat. I'm so grateful for the health revolution going on in my life.
Here are some pics of me and some friends at church a couple weekends ago.

First, congrats on the 2lbs and renewed focus! I have had the same problem adjusting to the lower calories, it's amazing that 2 carbs and 1 fruit can have such an effect!
And lastly, you are looking fantastic!
BTW, you didn't say how things were going with the "undertaker".
