Didn't turn to food during stress/depression.

How are you and your family, Mitch? What are your plans for coping with
the upcoming holidays?

Hope you are well,

Amy

Mitch! Good to have you back! How are things?

Recovery is slow. My wife's speech is still really bad, and it makes
her depressed. We're hoping her company will have mercy and let her
return in January so we don't have to go on LTD. Otherwise we'll have
to borrow from our 401K's until she can get back to work.

As for holidays, we're keeping things low key and mellow. We've
explained to the kids that Santa is having a lean year. Our biggest
priority right now is getting their mom back to normal.

Thanks for remembering.

Mitch, I've thought about you and your family too and I'm glad to see
it sounds as if there is at least some small progress.

Yes, it often is.

Children are often wiser and stronger than parents know. They sound
pretty lucky to have you as their dad. Just as your wife is lucky to
have you as her husband.

Thanks for remembering.

Please, keep in touch, Mitch. And best wishes to your family as well.

Mitch, I'm also glad to hear from you. And I'm so happy to see that
things are more hopeful than they once seemed. It sounds like you're
doing a wonderful job caring for your family in this time of need.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayer.

May you have a blessed holiday season!

Chris

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayer.


Thanks!

And in keeping with the theme of the group, I am finally in true
maintenance mode. I can indulge in things like pie, Halloween candy,
etc., in moderation, gain a couple of pounds, then go strict core for
a couple of days and take it back off.
