Topic: RE: Still losing - even slowly?
I havent lost any weight for a while either. Im content with where I am, but am afraid of regaining. My weight also fluctuates a few lbs up and down during my cycle.

Nick,
Great question. Thanks for posting.
I pretty much felt that I had my eating under control. Then about 2 months ago things got very hectic as my mom's health declined and we needed to up the move to AZ for her. Then just before moving here (like 2 days before) she got very sick and then passed away 3 days later. As a result I found myself totally stressed, down in the dumps, and no longer in control. I found myself grazing and also craving higher carb items. BUT I also saw what was happening and have been working to turn it around. The old me would of gone with the eating and let it excalate. So altho I still see/experience the emotional eating, I'm in a better state to work around it.

Debbie,
Thanks for much. It is amazing how quickly we have adapted to the heat here. Luckily we lived in CA for years and in the valley where it was not unusal for it to be in the 90s (or more) in the summer. There is less humidity here and that does help. With a pool in the back yard I know that will help make it even better. Told Hal if he had to look for me, to check the pool first!!!! LOL
Altho a couple of negatives this last year, we really have had so many positives and feel truly blessed.

Nick,
Thank you. We have been so lucky to have such a great builder *****ally cares about their clients. We were told when our house would be completed and they have stuck to that date. Another friend had a different builder (different community) and has been given a closing date 5 different times so far. They bought their home 2 months before us. Her home looks wonderful, but I know it is frustrating for her.

Mary that is so exciting. I would love to see pictures of your new home. I can't imagine low 90's and it isn't hot yet. Sigh... We had high 80's and I consider that getting hot to me. 
I just imagine your place will be so lovely with the pool. You have had an exciting year.
Hugs,
Debbie

I still eat from stress, but it seems I have less *real* stress than I use to. I do have every day stress with my children and such. I also find that I will eat out of boredom.
I have trouble with the munchies too, and I'm having to deal with that. I have a hard time keeping healthy snacks for me in the house. I have to eat something every couple of hours too.
I'm going through some hormonal things, so I can't tell if it is a stage in my post op journey, or if it is the hormones. I started having the munchies a few weeks after my first injection.
I will always have to work on this head.

I was a complete stress/emotional eater before surgery and to an extent I still use food to deal with stress and emotional situations. Only now I find myself not wanting to eat if I am really stressed out or really upset about something. My big problem now is at work I eat to stay awake! Crunching on something prevents me from falling asleep while I am doing my work @ work and I do it even when I am not hungry. I am trying to find something else to work the same magic but so far nothing is helping.
I still dont deal well with stress but its a slow process and I am getting better about it.

Mary -
Congrats on the new house!!!
Glad everything's finally coming together. I rent, so I haven't been through it, but I know a lot of people who have built, and the waiting can be maddening.
