[QUOTE="Fran, post: 203309, member: 3"] Hi Sharon, It does seem stress is a big trigger. Who doesn't seek comfort when the chips are down? I think it will always be this way with me. It's been a year of upheaval, worry and just plain frustration. It showed in my eating and my exercise. Eventually it showed on my waist and backside. I finally took some control last winter and got back into the swing. Through the summer with mom being ill I put a little on.(great pastries in the old hometown) Now I am pretty much to goal. I know I need to firm up. Things don't hang in the same place at 53 as they did at 23. LOL. but I will always fight with 5 lbs every day of my life. It's always a wonder why I am either totally disciplined or totally undisciplined? Never a middle ground. I envy people who just know how to eat and maintain their normal weight. They have small portions. Enjoy occasional treats but it doesn't hold the grip on them that it does on me. You wonder about what the difference is in their make up, their taste buds, their environment etc. In our family big meals were big doses of love and reason to celebrate the coming together of friends and family. My mom lived in the kitchen during holidays and parties. It was her gift, her job and her self esteem all rolled into one. Somehow that translates into me thinking food is a celebration. LOL. I eat for stress relief, comfort and celebration. Beats pills, alcohol and illegal drugs but it can kill you regardless. Good luck with regaining control and going back to normal for you. I know you will. The feel of cute jeans is too much of a lure. [/QUOTE]
