Today was my uncle's funeral. Funerals are never fun, but this one had an extra heaviness to it. In just 14 months, my father and his 2 brothers died. The only one left from their family is my aunt, who was looking decidedly shell shocked. I didn't know what to say to her, so I just hugged her.
The good news is that I stayed 100% on track with diet. There were deli meats and cheese and a veggie tray at the dinner after. There were lots of other goodies, too, but I steered clear of them. I'm rewarding myself with a diet wild cherry pepsi this evening.
More good news. My step-dad, who rarely says anything about anyone's appearance, told me I am "looking good", to keep it up. I actually wore makeup today for the first time in 2 years. I just haven't felt like putting lipstick on a pig. I even 'put on' eyebrows. lol.

Vinni, I am so sorry for all your losses. It is so hard to deal with the loss of family members. But I am proud of you for sticking to your WOE, and for getting gussied up! That is wonderful, even though it was for such a sad occassion.

Thanks, dear. I guess it's all part of getting older. Now that I remember how good it feels to wear a little makeup, I plan to do it more often again!

Lavinnia, it says a lot about you when you can go through such hardships and emerge from the other side as successfully as you have. While most people would have reverted to the comforts we have been accustomed to, you did not. That speaks volumes for how much you have grown.

Wow...thanks k. It's all about getting healthy again. Frankly, I adored my uncles and my father, but they all died of preventable diseases. I don't mind dying someday. It's something we all do. I just don't want to go out in pieces. My chances of being debilitated are increased due to my rheumatoid arthritis, but I want to give myself every chance I possibly can to live a long, productive life.
