14. Oh, gosh

That was just a horrible thing that happened. So very sorry you lost your friend. And your reaction about your weight sounds like how I might have reacted at one time. On the one hand, you are devastated by the loss of your friend, and you probably not only feel a little strange because of the weight gain, but also because it actually bothers you at this time of mourning. For some reason I am feeling that the funeral and seeing everyone will be healing for you, and may help set yourself onto a new path. I mean, it sounds like an emotional shock treatment of sorts. Do try getting your chakras in balance because your post has "third chakra" issues written all over it (been there, done that)!

I realize this doesn't help in the short term, but I saw this and thought I might try it for the twenty or so pounds I would like to lose.

A study has shown that the most effective way to lose weight is to eat normally five days a week, and go low carb two days a week (they suggest Monday and Thursday). I just thought it was interesting.

I will certainly be sending you healing thoughts over these next few days.
