Thank you so much! its wonderfully inspiring and helpful to hear how others struggle with stress eating as well... and i have a WAYS to go until i feel like im back in control of MY life... i still feel like i am under that cloud since i allow my sons father to control some of my emotions and pain still....but one day...

You're doing an awesome job! And good on you for noting when your weight loss has been due to stress... When I was at my thinnest, I was also out of my mind with depression. I have to keep reminding myself that I might not get to that size again, and doing this the right way is the only way. I will be stronger when I reach my goal this time, and I probably won't gain it back either, if i focus on dealing with the problems that are at the root.

Good for you! Keep it up! [I also like the darker hair better on you! ]

Thank you! stress eating is definitally a life long struggle. i think you are completely right when you say to remind yourself. Some days i can remind myself BETTER.. and some days i COMPLETELY fall off the band wagon... but I've found more recently that I will pick myself back up to eating better, in time... in which when i let myself get so much heavier.. I would not/could not pick myself back up.
