Bakery fire...lost everything :(

keep your head up, stress will affect the way you eat with or without the band. Although its a stressful time, defintely take time to care for yourself. Once this has passed you don't need the stress of dealing with your health.

prayers for you

Thank you everyone! things are going as expected, taking it day by day. I lost just about everything and trying to rebuild ASAP, but waiting for insurance to pull through is like watching paint dry. I have a small policy which is limited but the community I live in has rallied tremendously with fundraiser, donations etc. it has been simply amazing. I've even had food network cake challenge competitors/reality stars in the cake world call me and email me with support, it's so crazy! Long road ahead, but I'm pushing forward. And you are all dead on about stress and the band being tight. I haven't been able to eat very much, haven't really wanted to either. I am down 7 lbs in 5 days. Even when I do eat, I can't eat as much so I've actually been eating sweets as to get some calories in the best I can. At least they slide through easily and I know it's not the best plan but right now I just don't have the time or energy to pay attention to the food or cook myself. Once things settle, I'll get right back on track. For now, I just do the best I can given the circumstances.
