Hi Everyone Back For a New Start

Hi All,
Im back to try again I've had such a bad year and a half I need a new start. My best friend lost her battle with cancer on December 2nd and I feel absolutely lost without her. We did everything together slimming world, craft classes she was more like my sister than a friend, then my mother fell and broke her hip and had to have an emergency hip replacement and she suffers badly with fibromyalgia so things haven't been very good and I'm afraid I just comfort ate and piled back on the lbs. On the brighter side I managed to start back on the slimming world diet a week ago and lost 3lb, I can't go to classes at the moment because I look after my mother so I am doing the best I can from home. One more thing I am trying to eat as natural as possible and still do slimming world i.e no artificial sweeteners and as little processed food as possible does anyone else do this I could do with some tips .
Thanks
Ellen
