First let me say thank you for the service to our great country. I am the wife of a military man. His last deployment he lost about 40lbs. He has been home for about 9 months and has gained about 25 lbs back. I try to keep him on track but have no control when he goes to work :noway: the man loves fastfood. I think for him it is the mindset that when he was deployed he had no real control over what he was fed and knowing he is going to deploy again he is taking full advantage of the freedom of choice. He still works out and runs all the time...he just eats all of the wrong foods. Don't beat yourself up to bad....just refocus and think about what you are about to eat .....and then just set aside a block of time each day for exercise (even if it is just 30 mins) . I don't know the age of your children so that may be easier said than done but even running around playing or riding bikes with them would work. I am sending a prayer that you will get back on track and have peace of mind so you can enjoy your time at home. :flowerforyou:
