I have just gone through a very stressful time & have gained about 20
pounds. My husband had a small stroke but has now almost fully recovered
& is at home. This is day 1 of my fresh start, so wish me luck in
staying OP.

I agree and the only way I can handle the stress seems to be by eating. As long
as I can recover and get it back off, I don't really mind. I am just thankful
that he is alive & almost back to normal. I got the weigh off once and I will do
it again - with the help of this group, that is ;-D

I know the feeling. As he gets better you will feel the stress go away.
Having someone in your family ill does create stress. I've dealt with it
with both my husband and my daughter. It was their illnesses that put on
quite a bit of my weight over a period of 5 years. Things have settled down
some so I can concentrate on losing weight.

Glad to hear that DH is getting better and you are back OP. My DH had an
angina attack last week and ended in the hospital for 2 days of tests so
I
can understand the stress you went through. Hang in there.

I'm sure you will now that you are back on program. I just wish I had found
ww when all of our medical troubles were going on. It might have kept me
going. The past still haunts me and puts me into a depressed state at times.
I fight this everyday and food has always been my crutch. I try and not let
that happen these days when the demons come out to play. Journaling helps
keep me on track. My tracking spreadsheet is on my desktop. I check it every
time I want something to eat at night to fight my snacking tendencies.

Sorry to hear about your husband, but glad that he's on the mend. You'll
get back OP now and that 20 will be gone soon. Good luck to you and your
DH.

I am sorry to hear about your husband's stroke, Elaine. That must have been
extremely stressful for you. I am glad to hear that his recovery is going
well.

This is day 1 of my fresh start, so wish me luck in
staying OP.

The best of luck to you!

Thanks, Nathalie. Hug caught ;-) Now that Bill's home, I can do my walks
again
and that is so calming to my spirit. Thanks goodness that my hubby only
had a
slight stroke but that was bad enough - only his speech & swallowing were
affected, but It was still a great worry to me as I wasn't sure at first
whether
his speech would come back. Thank goodness it has & looks like he will
make a
full recovery ;-D

Oh Elaine, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I'm glad to hear he is back
and home and recuperating well. I wish him a speedy and full recovery. I hope
you are able to relax more now that he is home and you know he will be alright. I
don't have any doubts that you will get that stress weight right back off. I'm
pulling for ya!
