i'm the wife of a retired service man (canadian) 30 years and he did a number of 6-8 month tours....and it is tough.
Keep busy - surround yourself with friends and stock up on health snacks, so when u do feel like raiding the cupboard, it's healthy stuff. if u don't buy the junk, it ain't there to eat...congrats on upcoming wedding too....best of luck with both!

I'm sending you lots of support and hugs!!! Things will work out and you can do this!! If you need an extra push when you are missing your man, just imagine his face when he sees you in your wedding dress 20 lbs lighter!!!

Army vet here, going on 16 years service, all active duty. My wife and I have been together for 10 years....she's been with me thru three tours of Iraq (including the invasion) and one tour of Korea. Afghanistan is on tap for this summer.

It sucks having to leave, but every time I've come home, it's like the time apart was just a dream. We pick back up right where we left off. We love each other like the day of our wedding.

Advice -- give yourself an activity and stay busy. That way, your house won't seem so empty, and you're not preoccupied with him being gone. It's okay to miss him, but staying busy is key.

Good luck with the weight loss project. This is a great community...I joined a couple weeks ago, myself.
