Hi Terri,

We were engaged August of 2004 before Hurricane Ivan hit. After the

hurricane, I had to move in with a friend. My condo was destroyed.

In December of '04, I had major surgery. So I'm planning a wedding

for April of '05 and BAMM! my fiance' falls and breaks his ankle.

Thankgoodness the wedding date didn't change. I changed jobs the

first week in April. I had been working with a family for three

years when I was offered a job making 3X what I had been making.

Life seemed to be going along swell. In May, one of my good friends

passed away. Dealing with that has just been a struggle everyday

since. July was Hurricane Dennis and Katrina. We lost power for

several days with both. I took vacation at the end of July and when

I came back, the family that I was working for decided they couldn't

afford both a nanny and a tutor, so I was out a job. I did,

however, get another job in the same week. My pay was cut in half

but we are making it. All of this time, I'm having some type of

lower back pain and none of the 4 doctors that I've seen can figure

out what it is. Soooooo, I take pain meds during the day and some

at night to help me sleep. The medication that I was on caused

weightgain, so I'm trying to dig myself out of the pit. I know I

can do it, I'm pressing on.

BFL has always been good for me. I always feel so good once I get

going. Today hasn't been bad for me, food-wise. I know with time

things will get back to normal:)
