Just having stress can cause increased cortisol production which leads to increased wieght gain even if you don\'t over eat.
I\'ve been struggling with my weight too, not only have I not lost anymore I\'ve gain back about 10 pounds since Winter moved home with the baby.
Oh, my, I know exactly how you feel about that weather. Our summer last year was such total crap, the coldest, wettest one on record and it was so depressing. I keep praying this summer will be better, we\'ll have sunshine and be warm and I will be able to work in my yard. so far it\'s not shaping up that way.

Well I am a little luckier than you. I had 2 days of 80 and then it went back to 50\'s. It has rained 3/4 of the time. I went from a sundress to gloves that I wore to the store today (42 degrees). WTH. We waited all this time. Agonizing all winter long and it is still crappy. I am guessing we will go from winter to summer as we have before, because if this is spring they can have it.

I am usually not a stress eater but lately I have been. I will eat before I go to bed which is late and for the last month I have even got up and ate after being in bed for a while. I don\'t eat during the day so that could be why I eat more at night. I have never been able to eat during the day.

Thanks for the compliment but Sissy is the prettiest. She got her looks from her Dad, tall dark and handsome, only she is tall dark and beautiful. You can tell she looks nothing like me.

Let\'s see you asked me about ice cream and something else. I don\'t remember the something else but I like Edy\'s Slow Churned 1/2 the fat chocolate. I don\'t even look at any other kind...had them all.

I know you are upset over your daughter. Some day this will all be resolved. That may be something you should hang on to right now.

If I remember what you asked me or what it was I was going to say I will send it in a hug. Brain dead from no sun. :( Naomi xo
