Kathleen- I loved this newsletter even though it made me cry big fat tears I love animals and people so I could relate to the BIG BIG feelings that you had. Because I am not very far along in the program and right in the middle of some devastating family problems I took comfort from your ability, Kathleen, to stay on program. Sugar did nothing for me in the last 7 weeks and the only thing keeping me going was my higher power.

I am trying to sort out breakfast right now and I am still teetering -wanting to fix this by losing weight. Somethings like the death of a loved one or losing faith in someone we really loved and trusted just can't be fixed. Life is about pain sometimes and sugar never once fixed that for me. It still does feel terrible! I think as a person with SS I always had what I like to call "magical thinking". The idea that someone, some diet was going to fix me because I just wasn't good enough.

Please contiune to write about life, Kathleen! I will admit to getting more out of some newsletters than others, but I always love the connection that I feel with you and others Thank you for sharing! Laura
