I just want to thank everyone who have responded to my posts yesterday. I desperatly needed some help and reassurance and I am so greatful I got it. I was in a really bad place last night. I felt really alone, and all of your kind words helped.
I think I have figured out what's going on. My husband and I have started talking about baby #2. I do really want to have another baby. I am only 9 months out and still have about 50 lbs to my goal, and at least 40 till I feel I want to get pregnant (I want to be under 200). I started feeling pressure (not from hubby, from myself) about losing the weight as fast as possible. As soon as I started feeling that way was when it "suddenly' became hard to be on track. I think I was sabotaging myself in some way. Maybe I'm not ready to be talking about the next baby. I suddenly felt desperate and in reaction, I started making poor choices through out the day. I am also wondering if this anxiety is causing my stomach pain as well. It all seems to be happening at the same time.
I'm sorry, you don't need to hear all my psycho-babble. Just figuring some of this stuff out for myself might help me BOT, at least for today (or 5 min!) 
Thanks for reading

Your psycho-babble is exactly what we need to hear because it is exactly what you need to share.  You've had some great insights.  Give yourself a great big pat on the back

It's those kinds of things that are so significant   (Know it first hand from experience plus see it professionally every day as a psychologis)  tDon't know anyone whose thinking doesn't get mucked up from time to time and when it does - LOOK OUT - for us it's "food here we come! "  Let yourself off the hook and enjoy the here and now - the stork be d-----d for a while.
