Brenda;
I'm very proud of you. A lot was thrown at you, and you didn't have a metldown, but dealt with each one as it came. Nothing like adult chicken pox to put things in perspective, huh?!
When you have a positive outlook on life, that's when the good things begin to happen, and you see things that were not there before, including your 10 lb. weight loss.
It's good your taking it one day at a time. Take it slow, but not so slow that you get run over. It's like the old saying, if your on the right track and just sit there, you'll get run over by the train! It sounds like you are, and your moving along. Take it at your own pace, and just keep going forward!
