I am sorry to hear about your father's death. How are you holding up? My grandmother died 2 weeks ago, and my favorite uncle died Sunday. The stress is incredible. I am fighting with myself not to do the "turn to food for comfort" thing. It's hard! I cheated over Christmas and put on a few pounds. However, I am back on induction and already lost 3 of those pounds. Stay on induction as long as you feel you need to. You'll feel better about yourself when some pounds start coming off again, and you'll be able to enjoy your cruise. Take care!
